  1. Also… if you update the message app on galaxy, you get the option to add message time to conversation (not contact) but you LOSE the ability to schedule a message. I used that gesture all the time on my previous galaxy 4. I think of stuff at midnight but can’t go texting some people at that time so I write the message and schedule it for a decent time in the morning. Even if it doesn’t seem like a huge feature… it can’t be so solace or time consuming to leave features like that in.

  2. I have the Note 8 and can’t change my text message notifications since I switched to Cricket. I have done everything I can think of to change the notifications, what do I do?

  3. go to the text messages of the person u want to change there tone right hand corner of the text where the 3 dots are click notifications select custom ans change it in there it works

  4. I had same problem with notifications for different individuals. I changed my text board to Textra and now I have all of those optyand more.

  6. I just got the Note 9. Same problem. Cannot assign a text ringtone to individual contacts. Probably will resell phone. Not happy at all with Samsung downgrades.

  7. It did NOT help. There is no message tone to select, only ring tone. I might just trade this in for an iPhone if that’s the case.

  8. Not fair! I just got my phone and had to update it right after I set everything and now everything is gone!! Wtf!!!

  9. There is no “message tone” option under individual contacts for the Note 8. Only “ringtone”.

Did this help? Let us know!
