In the new update why did they get rid of the duck texting sound??? You can only use it if you put it as you ring tone but not your texting.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 6s, iOS 15
The Duck sound for text sounds is free, see my screenshot.
There are 4 pages of answers to this.
The text alert tone is known to have been available for purchase on the iTunes Store since 2011.
Does this mean that some text alert tones that were originally present have disappeared from the list even if you are not using iOS 17?
Just checked on an (old) iPodTouch - iOS 9.3.5 the Duck sound is still present on Text Sound.
That one sound Duck, yes is not available any more as notification.
🪦
However the 17.0 change which would not allow ringtones generally as notification sounds was reversed.
I can use purchased “Bad Guy” ringtone as a text tone now, that was not the case in 17.0
You are not talking to Apple.

I want to be able to keep the duck sound as a text alert. How can I do this?
You will need to buy or make your own text tone. There is a "Duck Quacking" alert available in the iTunes Store.
Cannot get the duck sound on my text only on incoming calls. What a total waste of time even looking at the answer answers. You never answered anybody you never helped anybody. Nobody is happy so why did you take the duck sound away for texting? Just keep doing what you wanna do you don’t care about us.

The person to whom you're replying asked the original question. Why do you think they should have answered? They were LOOKING for answers.
If, however, you mean Apple, your imprecations are equally pointless. Apple doesn't participate in this forum much beyond making sure we all follow the rules. The only questions they answer directly are ones related to safety. This is a user-to-user forum.
Most people don't care that the duck sound is no longer available for texting. Those that do care, like you, have the option of downloading one from the iTunes Store.

You buy or make your own text tone with a duck sound.
why should I have to pay for something that was there and fine??
Because it's not there anymore, and you want it. If paying for it seems so horrific, use one of the available free tones and accept that your phone won't quack when you get texts. I'm sure the people around you will be grateful.
If you purchase one ensure it is under Alert Tones not ringtones.
Yes this came is very late with iOS17 public release.
but not for text alerts. Since ios17 RC, ring tones cannot be used as alert tones
No it’s not

Ambiguous response.
iOS 17.1 reversed this crazy decision.
I’ve just done this too.. however I wouldn’t get your hopes up… I would have a go at my work around… you wouldn’t know the difference.
How to put again the duck text sound on iPhone?
