How Do I Set Custom Individual Notification Tones In Messenger+?

Question

I've recently downloaded new ringtones onto my Galaxy S7 and have assigned them to different people in my contacts. I also use Verizon Messenger+ as my default. The issue is when I receive a text from the people I have assigned a custom notification sound, it plays the Verizon Alert tone. How do I make it so that it plays the specific ringtone I have assigned to those select few and for all the others it will play the Verizon Alert? When I use regular messenger, I don't have this problem.

This has to be done in the Messages app. To do this, open the app. On the conversation window of the contact, touch the contacts name. In the right corner tap the 3 dots. From the drop down menu, select Customize. Scroll down to Tones. Choose the tone you want assigned to the contact. This will assign the specific tone to that contact.
