Hi @Deborah1500
This has been a pain for us all! Hosts have put their heads together and come up with a way to add the previous Airbnb tone back to messages until Airbnb fixes the App. It's kinda "techy" but is working for me and alot of other Hosts. I'm posting the workaround and other thread on this for you. This will only work if you have SMS text messages ON in your Notifications on your account in Airbnb:

A BIG THANK YOU to both of you! Thanks to Ben for providing the mp3 file of the Airbnb tone and thanks to @Bettye6 for suggesting to add a ringtone to the contact phone number for Airbnb Text Messages! I created my own custom ringtone using the mp3 file of the Airbnb ringtone in Garage Band and then added it to the Airbnb Contact phone number on my phone. I was finally able to add the Airbnb Tone back to the text message notifications. Yaay! Feels like way to much work when all we really need is Airbnb to add the tone back to the App. Anyhoo...this is for iPhone users (not sure about Android?)
You will need the Garage Band App on your iPhone (It's fee to download from the App store if you don't have it) and you'll be downloading the mp3 file to your Files App:

- First, download the mp3 file that Ben provided to your Files App on your phone

- Second, follow the instructions in the YouTube Video below on how to add a custom ringtone to your iPhone using Garage Band App - Start the video at 1:26 as the beginning doesn't pertain:

Whew! I was able to get it to work! You then just add the custom ringtone to the Contact Info for the Airbnb phone number that you receive text messages from. Hopefully Airbnb will just add the tone back to the App and save us all alot of headache.

Let us know here if you were able to get it to work for you!
