Comment on Is there a way to enable in-chat incoming message sounds for Samsung phones?

Use case example: You’re busy doing something, but you send a message to someone and leave the chat open because you can’t close it at that second. A message comes through but because the chat is open, you don’t hear a sound. Then you get back to your phone 30 minutes later, and find that someone had already messaged you. If the sound still played even while the chat was open, you would have stopped what you were doing and responded to them as soon as you got their message.
In my country we mostly use WhatsApp and it has a specific option in the menus that says ‘in chat notification sound’ which does exactly what you are looking for.
What I would suggest is try another messaging app that is more feature rich such as textra. I bet they do a better job at handling notifications than the default app.
For what it’s worth 4 days later, this bugs me too on my Google Pixel phone! My daughter texts me something, we go back and forth, something interrupts and I don’t realize she’s asked a question and I’ve left her hanging.

Sounds like you missed out on a booty call.
