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.

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.

Currently, there is no way to change the default incoming email notification on iPhone. There is no setting to change in the application.
Also, changing i{hone settings in "Notifications" and "Sounds and Haptics" sections, does not have any effect on incoming email notification sound. Basically, application is not considering phone level settings as of now.
Either provide a separate setting in the application to change the sound like WhatsApp or get the values of notification sound from iPhone level settings

To be able to customize notifications for different senders. Or maybe some type of VIP. Standard notification sound get lost with all the other notifications.

I was googling about 'how-to' change the notification/alert sound for ProtonMail app in iOS but looks like there is no such feature. This is not so cool, for a very cool app. I'm a developer and I believe the level of effort to add this feature to the app isn't that difficult.

I see from the posts that this request is not be taken seriously as it has been requested since 2018. It is very important to identify mail from other low priority notifications. On iOS we can not change the sound associated with a notification. Can you please treat this FEATURE with the due priority I think it deserves. Even if it is the option of just a couple of sounds that are different to the existing builtin notification. Many people will be appreciative of your work in making this feature happen. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

I think this is a “must” kind of feature. First, my ProtonMail sounds like everything else. Second, my pet freaks out at the generic apple sound. Third, I want a way to differentiate between work and personal email.

The notification tone currently used by ProtonMail (iOS) is also used by other apps, like GoogleVoice. Would be nice if ProtonMail had a distinct sound.

Couldn't agree more. Having one default notification sound for all my apps in iOS is frustrating to say the least. Integrating PM with IMAP would allow you to choose whatever sound you wanted when you got a new mail message....would kill two birds with one stone!

I came here trying to find a way to do exactly that. Surely it can’t be that difficult to give us the option to change the default notification sound. Why has it taken 21/2 years?
