If you want to set specific notification alerts for a particular contact on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:


  1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.
  2. Find the contact you want to set a specific notification alert for and tap on their name to open their details.
  3. Tap on "Edit" in the top right corner of the screen.
  4. Scroll down to the "Text Tone" / "Ringtone" section and tap on it.
  5. You can now choose a specific notification sound for this contact. You can choose from the default sounds included on your iPhone or you can create a custom sound.
  6. Once you've chosen a notification sound, tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen to save your changes.


Now, when you receive a text or iMessage or Calls from this contact, your iPhone will play the specific notification sound / ringtone you selected. This can be useful if you want to easily identify messages from a specific person without having to check your phone.
