I've been hearing that there's some kind of issue with purchased tones in this version. May need to wait for an update.

Must be something. I know the default tone for most apps is so quiet it’s unbelievable. And changing it back to tritone is not possible. What another apple clown show.
 
Apple want you all to go buy an Apple Watch so you don't miss those notifications because the phones tone volume is slow low. 👌
 
All the custom tones I’ve always been able to assign are now showing up only as ringtones. Really hoping this is just a bug.
Ditto this.

I have zero purchased, just customs I've made, and I'm seeing the same. On upside, seems like still using the tones I assigned pre-17. So as long as have no need/desire to change a tone anytime soon...

All my added tones were pre-17 and ones set to certain apps for notification show it don’t play. If you open to the list it has a check next to None.
 
Can I ask you guys with 17 a question, because I've been reading mixed messages and am not sure which is happening...

Does this mean:

Text Tone in Sounds & Haptics no longer lists the custom tones to change the default one, or
Text Tone for a person in Contacts doesn't list the custom tones to override the default,
or both?

Both. Any custom tone only shows under ringtones. We’re hoping Apple fixes this soon.
 
Makes you wonder why many of the reported bugs haven't been discovered during the Beta period. I guess many of the people downloading Beta software are just using it as is with little interest in testing out stuff and reporting such issues.

Yeah you would think. But I think this bug(?) was not in the release candidate from a week ago. Let’s hope users leave feedback at Apple and they fix it.

The new ringtones were a surprise last minute change in the RC last Tuesday. Not much chance to report or fix anything in time.

Well let’s hope the 17.0.1 fixes it. Like many others, I have certain contacts configured with specific tones I’ve downloaded.
