I have iPhone SE (18.1.1), and I am unable to change notification sounds for my Gmail app. I go to Notifications->Gmail>Gmail Notification Settings (which throws me to Google Workspace) >Email notifications>Notification sounds, and choose a sound. Doesn't work. I get some default sound. I go to Notifications>Sounds&Haptics>New Mail and choose a sound. Doesn't work. I still get the same default sound. What's the trick?
iPhone SE, iOS 18
Well, strangely, many hours after making these changes, my Gmail notification sounds HAVE changed. So, bizarrely, the change doesn't take place when you command it. I guess my iPhone has to ponder it for a while.
Open the Gmail app on your iPhone, tap the 3 lines icon near the top left of the screen, tap Settings, tap Email notifications, tap Notifications sounds, select a sound and tap Done.
I just tested on my iPhone again and it changes immediately for me. Didn't need to restart the app or the phone or wait. A test email received within less than 30 seconds after the change worked for me.
Nope. That just gets me to the Gmail notification settings I tried before. Doesn't change anything.
