Tones IOS 17

There seems to have been a major change to Sounds & Haptics. Since about IOS 8 a user has been able to use custom tones that the user created for all sounds. With IOS 17 it only let you set these tones for the ringtone or timer.


All other tones, like text, email, voicemail use a default tone. If you try to set them to a user created tone, there is no option for this. It wants you to go to the tone store and purchase tones.


As for the timer, you can use a user created tone if you setup the timer manually. If you use SIRI or the Control Panel on the home screen to setup a timer you get the Radial tone.


I expect the they just moved these settings, but I can find them even with a Google search.


If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be appreciated. I have custom tones that I use for all my sounds and do not want to have to use the defaults or purchase tones that I don't really want.

I have a similar issue. I cannot get rid of the default sound when timer ends. I set a new tone and that tone shows up “when Timer ends play…” yet it only will play the HORRIBLE default. I can’t even use my Timer anymore due to the irritating tone. It must be a bug. ?
