Huawei: Turn Off the Outgoing Message Sound

Every message you send from a Huawei phone plays a short confirmation tone by default. In quiet environments or during calls, that sound can feel out of place. The setting controlling it sits inside the Messages app itself, not in the general sound settings, which is why many people can't find it right away.

Turn Outgoing Message Sound On or Off auf Huawei

Huawei's Messages app plays a short audio cue every time a text leaves your device. This confirmation sound is a built-in notification feature, separate from your ringtone or general media volume, which is why muting your phone does not always silence it.

The toggle for this sound lives inside the app itself. Open Messages, then open the menu, and go to the settings. There you find the option to activate or deactivate Hear outgoing message sounds.

Switching it off stops the tone for every sent SMS or RCS message, regardless of the recipient. It does not affect incoming message alerts, call sounds, or keyboard clicks, since those are controlled by separate settings.

If you only want silence during specific hours, a system-wide Do Not Disturb or Focus mode is often a better fix than disabling the sound permanently, since it also covers calls and other notifications at once. Turning off the outgoing tone here is the right move if you simply find the send confirmation unnecessary in daily use.

Frequently asked questions

No. Incoming and outgoing tones are controlled separately. Disabling Hear outgoing message sounds only silences the confirmation for messages you send.
