Custom Notification Sounds

Overview

You can personalize your push notifications by specifying custom notification sounds. To do so, upload your audio files in the Notification Sounds section within the Push Notifications tab of the app studio. After uploading, your audio files will be converted to custom_sound_1, custom_sound_2, etc., instead of using the original filenames. The Median App Studio Build platform automatically converts these files to .aff for iOS and .mp3 for Android.
