How can I disable sound notifications for apps only, but keep my ringtone sound enabled, for when someone calls

[paulri]

I want to be notified in the event I get a facebook messenger post, but silently (with a number at the top of the icon). Right now, I get a sound notification too, which I don't want.

I went into the Settings/Notifications/Notification sound menu, and saw the option for Sound, Vibrate, and Mute. Selecting Mute will not only turn off sound for my app notifications, but for my cell phone ringtone as well.

Is there a way to turn off the sound notification for apps, but keep the number appearing on the icon for the app? Or will I have to turn off all notifications for the Messenger app?

I don't see my signature below here; in my profile it is there:


Samsung Galaxy S22+

You can turn your media volume to zero and keep your call volume to maximum

Tried that, but that also mutes volume for youtube videos and what not. Is there a specific volume control for notifications?

Found it, in the Sounds and Vibration menu, there is one option called only "Volume." Pressing that gave me a menu with Ringtone, Media, Notifications, and System. I think that did it.

Thanks.
