Sonar sound option missing from messages in notification sounds settings.

I stopped getting sonar sound notifications for my messages a few months ago. I checked my settings and it showed I had sonar but when digging into the list of sounds, sonar was no longer there thus I wasn’t being notified. I had to select a new sound but none of the available sounds were as good as sonar for me. I see sonar is available in ringtones but no longer in messages. I would think this is something that would have been documented if removing certain sounds was planned, otherwise you just don’t care what your customers want! No surprise given you have to issue numerous bug fix notes after every iOS update because you have terrible test validation process with every Tom. Dick and Harry around the world making code changes for you🤦‍♂️.

I too had Sonar set as my text alert. I am running 17.2.1 and it was working fine until i went to listen to some other sounds, and now I realise that it has been removed from the choices for texts but it is still there in the RIngtone section. Duh? Why would they do that. It doesn't even make a good ringtone.

Have you called Apple support about this? I'd like Sonar back too

This is the weirdest thing! I woke up to a new text tone that I didn’t even recognize. I’ve used sonar for ages and now it’s gone! I’m disgusted! Apple is clearly not concerned with the satisfaction of their customers. All of the other tones are extremely low and now I’m missing important messages and emails because of that! I’m going to take my business back to Samsung
