Google Contacts

[kcmmanager]

Tried using google contacts but noticed in setting individual ring tones that there was no way to set individual ring tones for messages which seem to go back to default message tone from phone, tried setting them using Samsung contacts no problem then reinstall google contacts after a while day or so back to default setting. Am I missing something?
Also tried google message same problem individual ring tones always go back to default settings both for phone and messages So for now use Samsung stock contacts. Any ideas
thanks

On my Pixel 2 Google's contacts app doesn't provide any way of setting message notifications, just ringtones. So whatever I set for a ringtone there has no effect on the message notification (which is reasonable, as these are separate things). But individual ringtones work fine.

I don't use Google's Messages app, and in fact keep it disabled (I prefer to have more customisation than it offers). I can see it has a setting for specifying individual notification tones, but I can't comment on whether there are any problems with it. It seems unlikely that that feature doesn't work though, since it would surely be widely reported if so. Unless you are in the habit of completely deleting conversations - I'm told that on many apps the tone is linked to the conversation rather than the contact, so deleting the conversation would clear any custom tones you'd set.

If it's not that, and I had to speculate, I'd wonder whether you had a conflict between Google and Samsung apps going on. But that's purely a guess, based on nothing other than the fact that you do have these duplicate contacts apps (with the Samsung one presumably linked to your phone dialer).

thanks
as for Google's meassaging app there it"s been widely noted that it loses customization on ring tones that's why I use Samsung default messenger keeps both messages and contact customizations
that was what I figured as to the google contacts it not being able to customize message tones in that it only has settings for phone
