Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is it possible to have text & call sounds personalized?

By this I do not mean choosing a specific sound per contact, I am wondering if there is a way to have the notifications be "text from David" "Call from Ali" type of customization...


Sorry I am really bad with technology/figuring things out on my own.


Any help/links/etc is much appreciate!

THANKS :)

Have Siri announce notifications

Siri can automatically announce incoming notifications from apps like Messages and Reminders. Siri automatically enables app notifications for apps that use time-sensitive notifications, but you can change the settings at any time. To learn more about time-sensitive notifications, see Set up Focus on iPhone.

  1. Go to Settings  > Siri & Search > Announce Notifications, then turn on Announce Notifications.
  2. Tap an app you want Siri to announce notifications from, then turn on Announce Notifications.
  3. For some apps, you can also choose whether to announce all notifications or only time-sensitive notifications.

For apps where you can send a reply, like Messages, Siri repeats what you said, then asks for confirmation before sending your reply. To send replies without waiting for confirmation, turn on Reply Without Confirmation.

Sorry that my reply hasn't helped.


We all have different ways of working, and I am no expert.

(We are all Apple users, like yourself, doing what we can to help each other troubleshoot.)


As I am unable to know which settings are in operation on your iPhone,

it is difficult to know for sure which settings may need changing, or what will be acceptable to you (eg Siri announcements)


Eg: In Settings, you can set up and manage message notifications for the Messages app

No. In this instance you cannot choose the actual words the notification will display..
