How to Set Custom Alerts for Contacts

Along with the global settings for text messages on the iPad, you can also give people in your contacts unique alerts so you can tell who’s texting you without looking. Here’s what to do: If you choose Classic, you open a new list of sounds that came with the original iPad. Below the Alert Tones are the Ringtones you can choose.

Add More Custom Sounds to the iPad

There are many custom sounds you can add to your iPad to personalize it. If you use Siri to set reminders and schedule events, you can customize the Reminder and Calendar Alerts. And if you use FaceTime regularly, you may want to set a custom Ringtone. Here are a few other custom sounds you can set on the iPad:

Facebook Post: You’ll hear this sound when you use Siri to update your Facebook status or when you share something on Facebook using the Share button. Tweet: This option is similar to the Facebook Post sound, only with Twitter. AirDrop: The AirDrop feature is great for sharing pictures with people in the same room as you. It uses a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to send photos (or apps or websites) to another nearby iPad or iPhone. You must have AirDrop turned on to use this feature. Lock Sounds: This setting turns off the sound the iPad makes when you lock it or put it to sleep. Keyboard Clicks: If you don’t like the clicking sound the iPad makes when you tap a key on the on-screen keyboard, turn Keyboard Clicks off, and your keyboard will go into silent mode.
