If you want to set specific notification alerts for a particular contact on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.
- Find the contact you want to set a specific notification alert for and tap on their name to open their details.
- Tap on "Edit" in the top right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down to the "Text Tone" / "Ringtone" section and tap on it.
- You can now choose a specific notification sound for this contact. You can choose from the default sounds included on your iPhone or you can create a custom sound.
- Once you've chosen a notification sound, tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen to save your changes.
Now, when you receive a text or iMessage or Calls from this contact, your iPhone will play the specific notification sound / ringtone you selected. This can be useful if you want to easily identify messages from a specific person without having to check your phone.
