Same issue cannot set individual ringrone
Margie Flinn says
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.
Joey says
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.
Kmarsh says
Not fair! I just got my phone and had to update it right after I set everything and now everything is gone!! Wtf!!!
Jennifer says
There is no “message tone” option under individual contacts for the Note 8. Only “ringtone”.

Which carrier do you have? I updated and still have mine on Verizon.
