Would you like to turn off the WhatsApp conversation tones on your Android and iPhone? So. This guide will show you how to turn off WhatsApp sent message sound on Android/iPhones.
You will hear sounds for incoming and outgoing messages when you chat with your friends or other WhatsApp groups on your Android or iPhone by default.

Is it Possible to Turn Off Whatsapp Sent Message Sound?
Let’s get right to the point: is it possible to turn off only the sent message sound on WhatsApp? Unfortunately, no. Since we’ve been using WhatsApp for so long now, we’ve become accustomed to finding all kinds of solutions within the platform itself, without giving it much thought.
If you think about it, a sent message sound can’t possibly bother you. It’s either you’re annoyed by all in-app sounds or you’re very busy and don’t want any sound interrupting you at all, and we have a solution for both of you.
This section will be divided into two parts: the first part will explain how to get rid of in-app notifications, and the second part will explain how to get rid of all sounds on your device.
How to Turn Off WhatsApp Sent Message Sound (Turning off All the in-app Notification Sounds)

Step 2: You will see a pop-up menu on your screen with multiple options. Tap on the last option on the menu to go to the Settings tab.
Step 3: Select the About menu when you’re on the Settings tab.
Locate Notifications, which has a bell icon next to it. Tap on it to view your Notification settings.
Step 4: In the next tab, you’ll find the first option of Conversation tones with a toggle.
This toggle switch is always on by default, enabling WhatsApp to play sounds with all incoming and outgoing messages.
All you need to do is turn this toggle switch off and the sounds will stop.
For iOS users:
Among many other differences between Android and iOS devices, another major difference is that WhatsApp does not have an option like Conversation tones. Does that mean you cannot change the sound of a sent message here? Certainly not.
