Instagram notification changed in iPhone

I’m only using the default notification sounds on my iPhone, but suddenly, after an update, my notifications changed for Instagram only. All other apps are working fine with the default notification settings. This change occurred after the update, and I’m currently running iOS 18.3.1.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

That is compleatly wrong. Ios has the capacity to set a default sound on your iphone that works for all msg apps. As of today instagram does not work with ios sounds you picked in the menu. This must be fixed. Furthermore in the setings you can put vibrate only as a default sound and insta Used to gibrate on notification without sound this also does not work as of late

Sorry, but you are wrong. Instagram has never permitted users to pick a notification sound for their app. NEVER. EVER. Instagram is responsible for their notification sound and if you don't like it, complain to them. Apple has nothing to do with them, their app or their sounds.
