Reminder: Enable this setting on Samsung Galaxy S25 for a better notification experience

Samsung Galaxy S25 users should take a moment to adjust a hidden setting that can improve the notification experience on their devices. The new OneUI 7 on the S25 has left many users scratching their heads as they find that notifications from different apps are playing the same sound.

This can be very annoying, especially when you expect a different alert for a text message or an app like WhatsApp. I’ve seen a number of complaints about the problem on Reddit and Samsung’s forums. If you’re one of the many who don’t like how your Galaxy S25 handles notification alerts, then don’t fret. It turns out that there is a simple setting that can fix this issue.

You need to navigate to Settings, then find Notifications, and scroll down to Advanced Settings. Once you get to the bottom of that page, you will see an option that lets you manage notification categories for each app. Enabling this setting allows you to hide certain types of notifications without having to mute the entire app.

For example, if you want to ignore a notification that tells you that your watch is fully charged or that a screenshot was taken, you can do so without missing out on important messages. Many users on the r/GalaxyS25Ultra subreddit have shared their experiences of finding this feature after spending hours on Google. They say it is a must-have for anyone who likes to keep their phone sounds organized.

It turns out that when the S24 hit the market, people were confused by the same behavior. So if you have recently upgraded to any of the S25 series phones or are planning to do so, check this setting right away. Adjusting it is simple and can save you a lot of hassle later. It may seem like a small tweak, but it makes a big difference when you need to hear what is important without having to sift through a jumble of identical sounds.
