  1. This did not answer my question. I previously used a Samsung Galaxy S9 and used the knocking sound. It is not available on the s23. Can it be added?

  2. Thank you for the instructions! I’m new to smart phones and the default incoming message sound on my S23 was driving me nuts, especially as loud as it was. I turned it down and changed it to something a little less jarring.

  3. It sounded like this would explain how to change the sound for different contacts. It did not. Do I have to use a 3rd party app (Zedge, etc) for that? I wanted to use my own ringtones.
