How can I disable the swoosh sound while sending a text on iPhone 16?

Is it even possible on an iPhone 16 to keep the notification alert when sending a text but get rid of the annoying swoosh sound when you are sending a text?

Given the swoosh has accompanied the sent sound of messages since the dawn of iPhone in 2008 and few if any people are actually bothered about it, like me for example, it's not likely Apple is working on doing anything with the sound.

Personally, I would suggest you not hold much hope for this to be changed. It would take a LOT of people complaining about this and there are just not many who do.

I used to have an iPhone 12 Pro before I upgraded to the 16. I was able to get rid of the swish sound but still keep my notification ding. I just can’t figure out how to do it on this phone and it is the most annoying thing ever.!

I don't know if this will work for text messages, but open the Settings App. Tap Sounds & Haptics. Tap Sent Mail and choose None at the very top of that page. This is for mail, but may possibly work for messages. Give it a try and report back.
