Xiaomi: Set Notification Sounds for Each App Individually

When every app on your Xiaomi phone plays the same notification tone, it gets hard to tell a messaging alert from a random app update without looking at the screen. MIUI lets you assign or mute sound per app, but the option sits inside a settings area many users never open. Here is where that control actually lives and how to change it for one app at a time.

Set Notification Sounds for Each App Individually auf Xiaomi

MIUI assigns one default notification tone to all apps unless you change it manually. This causes confusion when several apps trigger notifications with the same sound, making it hard to know which app needs attention without checking the screen.

Per-app sound control sits inside the notification management area of MIUI, separate from the general sound settings. Changing it there only affects the selected app and leaves the system default untouched for everything else.

To adjust it, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Notifications & Control centerTap on App notificationsChoose an appEnable or disable Allow sound.

Turning off Allow sound mutes that specific app while keeping notification tones active for every other app. This is useful for apps that send frequent low-priority alerts, like social media or news apps, while keeping sound on for messaging or calls.

If you want a custom tone rather than just muting an app, check whether the app itself offers a sound picker inside its own notification settings first. Some apps only expose an on/off toggle through MIUI, while others let you choose a specific tone directly.

Frequently asked questions

MIUI's App notifications screen mainly toggles Allow sound on or off per app. If an app supports custom tones, that option usually appears inside the app's own notification channel settings rather than in MIUI's general list.
