[Solved]: How To Change Ring Doorbell Notification Sound On iPhone

Ever since our building association has allowed installing Ring Doorbells in the apartments, most of my neighbours have replaced their traditional doorbells with Ring Video Doorbells. 

The Ring Video Doorbells have been a boon, especially for the working class, who used to worry about their home’s security when they were gone for days due to work. 

With the Live-view feature on the Ring Doorbell, you can watch your front door live at any time of the day, and when your Doorbell picks up any motion, you receive a Ring notification on your phone. Monitoring your house in your absence has never been this easy! 

Whenever someone presses the Ring Doorbell button or the Doorbell detects a motion around your door, the Doorbell Chimes, and you receive a Ring notification on your phone. But to receive these notifications instantly, you must enable the Ring notifications feature on the Ring App on your phone; otherwise, the Ring Doorbell will not ring inside your house, and you won’t receive any information on your phone.

Also, the Wi-fi connection to which your Ring Doorbell is connected should be solid and stable, so the Doorbell receives uninterrupted internet signals and there is no delay in receiving the Ring notifications.  

Speaking of the Ring notifications, the default notification sound on every Ring Video Doorbell is the same when you install it, but you can change it to a more fun sound according to your preference. 

With the Christmas season around the corner, I love to hear a lovely Christmas ringtone on my phone whenever there is a notification. I have also installed the Ring Chime inside my house, which chimes loudly inside my house with a pleasant sound whenever my Ring Doorbell notifies me.
