How to put again the duck text sound on iPhone?

The Duck sound for text sounds is free, see my screenshot.

I want my duck, quack, quack, quack, sounds back. What did you do with them?

Bring back the DUCK text tone !!!

I chatted with Apple support and they told me to submit feedback at http://apple.com/feedback. Hopefully they’ll bring it back!! I don’t want to have to get used to a new text sound after over a decade 🦆🦆🦆

How to get the duck sound for text

I want my duck quack sound back for my text tone. bring it back

How do I put the duck ring tone back on my phone

You can only use it if you put it as you ring tone but not your texting.

Indeed no Duck sound for text sounds, but it is present for Ring tone.

Send feedback to Apple, see -> Product Feedback - Apple

As you may know from the Lounge discussions, the device shown at the bottom of the first post is rarely the one in question.

I am assuming iOS17 is in question, maybe the OP can confirm. If it is ios15 then fine, the duck is still available free.

I’m on 17.1 and I still cannot access my duck text tone, can only see it as a ringtone, which isn’t what I use it for.

Duck sound gone. It's why I don't like to do updates.

They remove things for no reason.

You can get a duck sound for texts if you go to an app and PAY FOR IT.

iPhone 6s, iOS 15

Correction:

If you are still using iPhone 6S with iOS 15.7.9:

Go to -> Settings -> Sound -> tap Text Tone -> scroll down - not 1st Classic, but scroll all the way down to 2nd Classic.

Here is the screenshot:

Also on an iPhone 6S - iOS 15.7.9

Hi!

Here to help!

And also: wow. Did not expect a duck-question :)

Apple changes a lot over time - if you think the sound should still be available, please contact applecare.

However; it could also be "works as designed" - maybe Apple let go of the duck sound?

If you ned more assistance, let me know - or conbtact AppleCare.

Kind regards,

So I can confirm as above stated that some of the text tones are now ONLY available for free via ringtone, meaning you CANNOT use them for your text tones... frustratingly I only found this out when resetting my iPhone to try and resolve another issue, which it did not... however I have found the nearest alternative which is as close as I can get to what I had before... Firstly I screen recorded the now ringtone which I had as a text tone previously... I then followed this guys instructions on how to extract the sound from the video (see link below). My sound recording didn't actually save as what I had named it, and it seemed to get stuck on converting it... but when I looked whilst it was trying to convert it in my files, there had appeared a sound file... which was the file. I simply renamed it and then I emailed the file to myself and changed the extention to an m4r. and then went to itunes to copy and paste the file into my tones folder on my iPhone (with the iPhone connected via cable)... and wala, I can now use this sound as a text tone once again... for me it was the Duck sound, as I have ALWAYS used this as I love ducks and I always know its my phone as no one else I know uses it. Anyway it worked pretty well and it sounds exactly the same as before. Not quite sure why Apple took away the sound from text tones, but when do we ever know why Apple do some of the things they do? Maybe one day it'll return, but least this has solved my issue. Hope this helps someone!
