How to Change WhatsApp Notification Sound – WhatsApp Sound Effect Many people also prefer to listen to their types of sound because seriously, sometimes listening to a single ping sound gets up on our mind when we have to listen to it all day.

Just got the Lumia 930 which is great, although slightly disappointed on its lack of ability to assign custome notification tones. I know you can do custom ringtones. I am wanting to assign a whistle similar to the Samsung Whistle to my WhatsApp notifications, but cannot find anyway at all to do it. When you go to Settings > Notification Tones > Tone for message notification it only displays the default Microsoft/Nokia tones built into the phone. Has anyone found a way around this. Windows boot camp for mac. Going to email WhatApp team as well to see if they can do anything.

Thanks for looking. To clarify, they DO add the ringtone/mp3 to the RINGTONE directory, however, when you option Whatsapp, and go to select your own notification tone, you dont get shown the RINGTONE directory, but a seperate directory with just the MS and Nokia Tones.

There is no option to select any other Tone list or even a custom tone, so you are stuck with the crap tones that MS and Nokia see fit to supply.nothing that pricks your ears up when a message comes in. The following are both screenshots form the area.
