Android Version 8 and Higher (SOUNDS)

Android users using Version 8 and Higher you may have noticed you no longer have an option to select iSpyFire Sounds in the app. This was an update done by Android, to allow you to have complete control over your sounds so we thought we would show you how to maximize your sounds for the ISpyfire app, by having our sounds! That is if you want them. But because Android changed up your control settings you can have any sounds you can download to be a sound for Calls in iSpyFire Mobile!

Below is the step-by-step on how to get you all set up and ready with our iSpyFire sounds!

(STEP 1)
Go into your settings on your device.

(STEP 2)
Select NOTIFICTIONS.
