Apple always seeks to innovate in its operating systems, bringing new features that are often received with enthusiasm but do not always please all users. One of these changes occurred with the launch of iOS 17 when the company replaced the traditional “Tri-tone” with the new “Rebound” as the default notification sound. This generated controversy and angered some users who did not become fans of the new melody.
The main issue was the impossibility of returning to the original sound or choosing a different one as the default, causing frustration among part of the user community. However, Apple showed that it was attentive to the demands of its consumers and quickly addressed this issue with the release of the iOS 17.2 update.
With the release of update 17.2, Apple offered a solution for those who have not adapted to the new notification sound. Now users can once again customize the sound they want to hear whenever a notification arrives on their iPhone.
