How to use own Whatsapp message tone in iPhone?

[Mora67]

I learned how to add own ringtones and message tones for phone, sms and email, Apowersoft online tool is easy.

But WhatsApp does not recognize these imported tones.

There must be a folder somewhere in the phone to import m4r files with Apowersoft etc.

I am sure there are many in the globe who doesn't like tones Apple gives, but instead would like to use his/her own individual tones.

I saw that instruction Just_Me_D replied earlier, unfortunately that also gives only iPhone own tunes, as for some reason WhatsApp cannot use same tunes as imported for the ringtones. And there is an issue with 10.2.1 which is quite well known already. Now WhatsApp gives only option under Custom Notifications to choose message tones but not ringtones, where choices are only those poor iPhone tones.
