No one here would be able to answer why Apple has done what they have done.

PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!

And, no one here in this user-to-user forum can bring it back. You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Product Feedback - Apple

Meanwhile, you might consider buying or making your own ringtone.

Please check again:

iOS 17.1.2:

Go to -> Settings -> Sound & Haptics - > Ringtone -> scroll down to and tap on Classic - > Crickets.

iOS 15.8:

Go to -> Settings -> Sound - > Ringtone -> scroll to and tap on Classic - > Crickets.

I totally agree with Deb. I am sooo upset,I can't get along without the cricket. Have had it for years because it is the only sound that works for me with my text. I have a apple iPhone 13 and I don't understand why the deleted a very popular cricket. Pam.

There are similar-sounding text tones available in the iTunes Store, according to other posters.

No one here in this user-to-user forum would be able to answer "why" Apple chose to do something.

I see I did say ring tone but I meant text tone. My bad. But the issue is the same. And I don’t care if Apple is” well aware “. They need to hear from us anyway bc if they don’t they will assume we are okay with this omission.

I still have hearing issues. The higher frequency range is best for me. Natural sounds are soothing so th crickets were perfect for me.

Glad to be useful. I did send a product feedback to Apple. It feels like screaming into a void. But if they got a lot of feedback from this it can’t hurt. If we don’t say anything then our crickets will never be restored. This way they might be restored.

And a train whistle in the distance is soothing to me so it makes the notification not stressful.

I wish Apple had asked how many elderly users need cricket and duck, which is also gone, because they are the only two loud enough for us to easily hear. I am so disappointed and still haven’t found a sufficient substitute. There are sites with a free cricket tone, but I am afraid to try them

Yes, I was just with my friend and we were trying to get the cricket sound on my phone. And then she realized when she change the sound for her text, the cricket one went away, and there was no way to get it back. We love our crickets and want them back in our text tones please.

I’ve had cricket as my text tone for years. I (stupidly) was trying a different tone and decided to go back to cricket. IT IS GONE!!! My whole family knows it is my iPhone that’s chirping when we are together so they don’t check their phones. Come on Apple, why would you do that? Please give it back!

Why does Apple continue to change things for no apparent reason? Why get rid of the crickets message alert? Little things like this change is what drives people crazy! Are crickets now endangered by the use of the sound? Was this move done to appease the Green movement? Wouldn’t surprise me! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!

Crickets ringtone is never disappeared.

Go to -> Settings -> Sound & Haptics - > Ringtone -> scroll to and tap on Classic - > Crickets.

Which iOS are you on?

I am on iOS 17.2 on my iPhone and ‘ Crickets’ is definitely there for ringtone.
