Proton! what are you doing??? This is a small thing perhaps to you who apparently only use Android devices, but it's a deal breaker for iOS users. I've been using Proton mail since it existed, and the paid version. I'm a very loyal customer and I believe in your mission and want to support you, but I'm still using Proton mail for just my personal emails. There is just no way I can switch my work emails to Proton with NO OPTION TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUND. It a bit nuts that we're still asking for this at this point. It was, and still is, a deal breaker for adopting Proton for professional use. FOR THE LOVE OF PRIVACY, HEAR US ALREADY!!!!!

Yes, this would be a good feature. If proton had its own little notification sound like Signal do, that would be good too

What are you waiting to add this option, the fact you are waiting 8 years for now is that you really dont care about your customer. I love your service but why you dont add this option do you need me to program it ???? It's not suppose to be a big deal!!!

Yes, Protonmail app notification sound is same as another sound I use for another app. Need to distinquish them.

183 votes since 2017, a minor feature with low effort and a big payoff, and no movement. How many votes is needed before the Product team prioritizes user feedback?

After update my email sounds just like my texts. No good! I don't want to look at my phone for every email because they're generally non-urgent. But I do want to look at texts right away. Now I can't tell the difference. Actually, I turned off notifications in Proton Mail so only text messages make a sound. But, I'd rather have that customized email sound back!

I used to have a whistle as my notification for my proton email until the app updated with a new version. And now I can't find where to get the whistle back.

I can't be watching my screen all the time whilst working aside my laptop and having my email open; I'm very busy in the office and can do with a unique sound to ping my attention back to awaited email answers. Vital for me for more efficient working.

I like the ability to choose from a set of dedicated sounds in the Fastmail app. It would be nice to have this in Proton.

This should be implemented across all ProtonMail apps (including the new Mac app). I like the idea of extending the feature to specify different sounds for each mailbox as well

Using Proton for private email it would be very important for me to be able to recognise private from work mails by sound notif

Not being able to tell whether a notification is a general notification or an email is immensely frustrating.

I have just signed up for a trial of Proton Mail and I have to say this is a deal-breaker for me. I have multiple email and messaging apps on my phone and I rely on being able to differentiate between the various apps and accounts by virtue of their notification sound. Not being able to tell whether a notification is a general notification or an email is immensely frustrating.

Another vote for this issue. As much as it's a simple & basic request, it's a major one for some people. I have recently converted from Android to iOS and find it amazing this feature is missing. I have configured all my "system wide" notification tones, surely it should at the bare minimum be using one of these.

This is needed for both Mail and Calendar apps on iOS. I rely on notification sounds to determine the urgency of a notification. Plus I just don't like the default iOS sound.

Proton calendar notification sounds are too quiet

I just want the ability to change the notification sound for the app. It seems UN-beleiveable to me that the latest and greatest "smart" phone can't set custom sounds for each app but it's true. I want different sounds for email, texting etc and I can't get it from my $1,800 Galaxy Android Zfold3. So I'm hoping the app itself can offer the ability.
