custom notification tones for each contact
The standard Android messaging app pulls the custom text tone set for each contact as that contacts notufication tone and any without a preset tone use the default. Could that same cistimization be applied here so the user knows who is contacting them without having to remove the device from their pocket

I do still have a phone old enough that my contact list still has notification tones saved to individual contacts, and I really wish Textra would use them. Ideally, a contact's saved tone would be used in any conversation that I haven't chosen a custom tone for. For newer phones, perhaps Textra could default to the tone saved to the contact's solo thread? But then if a group conversation has a different time saved, that could still override the individual notification tones.
The problem I'd like to solve is this: I have a custom tone for my mom. Then she sends a group text to me & my dad, and it sounds like it came from a stranger instead of my mom. Ok, so I give that convo a "family" tone. Then She sends one to my brother, his wife, and me. Repeat (sounds like a stranger...set "family" tone"). Then she sends one to just me & my brother. Repeat. Then she sends one to me & my brother's wife. *sigh* Repeat.
And then I have a tone I use for people from work. Again, I have to go through the ringtone process all over again anytime someone sends a message to a slightly different configuration of people. It gets old. -

I think they're referring to Textra pulling what tone to use from the system contact information. Also, what about group tones?

They already have this. Go to the main screen as if you're doing a batch delete if multiple senders' threads. Select the same way (can select just one). Go up to top right corner. Click the dots. Select the per contact option. Once there, select the notifications option. Change sound, flash color, icon color etc there. :-)

please add this! Not having custom notification tones for users will make me not use this as default app.
