How to completely or partially turn off vibration on Xiaomi: 5 proven ways

Vibration on Xiaomi smartphones can be a useful feature, but it often becomes a source of irritation — especially when the phone is constantly shaking in your pocket from every notification or keyboard tap. Depending on the model (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11 and others) and the firmware version (MIUI 14/15 or HyperOS), the ways to turn off vibration vary. This article will help you figure out how to remove vibration completely or selectively — for keyboards, calls, notifications and system events.

It’s important to understand that the vibratory motor in Xiaomi smartphones is controlled on several levels: through system settings, the settings of individual applications (such as Google Keyboard or Miui Keyboard), and even through power saving modes. We’ll look at all possible scenarios, from a complete shutdown to fine-tuning for specific actions. If you use custom firmware (such as LineageOS), some menu items may differ, but the general logic will remain the same.

1. How to turn off vibration when typing (keyboard)

Keyboard vibration is one of the most annoying features for many users. It activates every time you tap the screen, which is not only distracting, but also drains battery power. Xiaomi smartphones have two types of keyboards: the standard Miui Keyboard and Google Keyboard.

For Miui Keyboard (set by default on most devices):

1. Open any application to enter text (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard to open the settings.
3. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
4. Turn off the Vibration slider when pressed.

For Google Keyboard (Gboard):

• 📱 Open the Settings. → System system → Language and input → Virtual keyboard.
• 🔧 Select Gboard and go to Settings → Sound and vibration.
• ❌ Turn off the Vibration option when you press the keys.

💡

If after turning off the vibration of the keyboard still works, try to restart the smartphone – sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.

Some models (POCO F5, Redmi K60) have introduced the MIUI 15 Adaptive Vibration feature, which automatically adjusts the response intensity, and if it is active, even when the keyboard vibration is turned off, light tactile signals can occur to deactivate it:

Settings → Additional → Special features → Vibration → Adaptive vibration (disable)

2. Disable vibration notifications and calls

Notifications from messengers (WhatsApp, Telegram), social networks and system alerts are often accompanied by vibrations. In MIUI and HyperOS, you can configure this globally or for each application separately.

Global notification vibration shutdown:

• 🔔 Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration → Vibration.
• 📴 Turn off the Vibration slider at notifications.
• 📞 For calls: in the same menu, deactivate Vibration when incoming call.

Setup for individual applications:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Select the application you want (for example, Viber).
3. Go to Notifications → Vibration and turn it off.

On HyperOS devices (such as Xiaomi 14 or Redmi Turbo 3), the path to vibration settings has changed a little:

Settings → Sounds and tactile sensations → Vibration → Notifications (disable)

3. Completely shut down vibration on Xiaomi (including system events)

If you want to completely remove vibrations at all levels – including system signals (for example, when connecting a charge or unlocking the screen), you will need to turn off several settings.

Method 1: Through system settings

• 🔄 Go to Settings. → Special facilities → Vibration.
• ⚡ Turn off all sliders: Vibration when touching Vibration when pressing buttons Vibration when unlocking

Method 2: Through the "Do Not Disturb" mode

This method allows you to turn off the vibration for a certain period or permanently:

1. Open the Settings. → Don't disturb.
2. Activate the mode and select Settings → Vibration.
3. Install vibration-free for all types of alerts.

Method 3: Through the Developer (for experienced users)

If standard methods do not help, you can turn off vibration through Developer Mode:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times).
2. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
3. Find the option to turn off vibration (some firmware called interaction vibration) and deactivate it.

💡

Completely turning off vibration through developer mode can affect some features, such as haptic feedback in games.

4. Turn off vibration in games and applications

Many games (e.g. PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact) and applications (e.g. TikTok) use vibration to communicate, so you can turn it off by going to the settings of a particular application or using system restrictions.

For games:

• 🎮 Open the Settings. → Annexes → Application management.
• 🔍 Find the game and go to the Permissions → Vibration.
• 🚫 Turn off vibration access.

For social networks and messengers:

In most applications, you can turn off vibration in their internal settings, for example:

• 💬 WhatsApp: ⚙️ → Notifications → Vibration. → No vibration.
• 📘 Telegram: Settings → Notifications and sounds → Vibration. → Shut down.
• 📺 TikTok: Profile → Settings → Content settings → Vibration in interaction.

On some devices (Black Shark, POCO F series) the vibration in games is controlled via Game Turbo:

Settings → Game Turbo → Settings → Vibration (disable)

5 Vibration when charging and connecting devices

Xiaomi smartphones by default vibrate when connected to charging, connecting headphones or USB-This can be disabled through hidden settings or special applications.

Method 1: Through sound settings

• ⚡ Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration → Vibration when connected.
• 🔌 Turn off options: Vibration when charging Vibration when connecting USB

Method 2: Through the Security App

On some models (Redmi 9, POCO M3), these settings are hidden in the Security app:

1. Open the Security app (shield icon).
2. Go to Optimization → Battery → Settings → Vibration when charging.
3. Turn off the slider.

💡

If your model doesn’t have a separate option to turn off vibrations when charging, try using the MacroDroid app to automate this process.

Vibration in "In the pocket" and when gestures

Xiaomi's In-Pack Mode automatically locks the screen and activates vibration when touched if the smartphone is in your pocket, which prevents accidental tapping, but can be annoying, to turn it off:

Settings → Lock screen → In your pocket mode → Vibration when touching (disable)

Also, vibration can be triggered when using gestures (for example, swipe down for the notification panel) to remove it:

• 👆 Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Gestures.
• 🔄 Select the Vibration when gestures and turn it off.

On HyperOS devices, the path may be different:

Settings → System settings → Gestures and movements → Tactile feedback (disable)

7 Problems and Solutions: Vibration does not turn off

If the vibration continues to work after all the manipulations, the reasons may be as follows:

If the problem persists, try resetting to factory settings (on Chinese firmware):

⚠️ Warning: Reset will delete all data on the device. Pre-backup through Settings → Additionally. → Backup and reset.

8.Alternative methods: applications for vibration control

If the standard settings don't work, you can use third-party apps.-3 Vibration control tools on Xiaomi:

• 🛠️ MacroDroid – allows you to create rules to turn off vibrations in certain conditions (for example, at night or when connecting to Wi-Fi).
• 🔇 Vibration Tuner – Accurate vibration intensity setting for different events.
• 📱 Shizuku + App Ops – for power users, allows you to block vibration at the system level (requires root or ADB).

Shizuku will require:

1. Install Shizuku from Google Play.
2. Connect via ADB and execute the command: Adb shell shizuku start
3. In the App Ops app, find the VIBRATE section and disable access for unnecessary applications.

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB And modifications to system settings can cause the device to run unstable or lose warranty.
