How to completely or selectively turn off vibration in applications on Xiaomi

Vibration in Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature to keep important notifications from missing when the phone is in silent mode. However, constant fluctuations can be annoying, especially if you use the device at night, in transport or at important events. Fortunately, MIUI offers flexible settings to turn off the vibration completely, adjust it for individual applications or even change the intensity.

In this article, we will explore all the possible ways to control vibration on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones, from global shutdown to fine-tuning specific messengers, games or social networks. We will focus on the nuances of different versions of MIUI (12 to 14) and models with the HyperOS shell, which gradually replaces the classic firmware.

Why vibration can interfere: typical scenarios

Before we get to the instructions, it’s worth understanding in which situations vibration becomes a problem. Here are the most common cases faced by Xiaomi users:

• 📱 Nighttime: Even in Do Not Disturb mode, some apps (such as Telegram or WhatsApp) can vibrate when receiving messages.
• 🎮 Games: Many mobile games use vibration to give feedback, which quickly lands the battery and distracts you.
• 💼 Work meetings: Vibration from email or calendar can be confusing during presentation.
• 🚗 Driving: constant fluctuations from the navigator (Yandex.Maps, Google Maps) distract from the road.
• 🔋 Saving charge: Vibration motor consumes additional energy, which is critical at low battery levels.

Interestingly, on some Xiaomi models (such as the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or Xiaomi 13 Ultra), vibration can be triggered even when you touch the screen — this is part of the haptic feedback function. It can also be turned off, but we will talk about this separately.

Method 1: Completely shutting down vibration in MIUI settings

If you want to completely remove the vibration for all notifications, calls, and system events, do the following:

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
3. Select Vibration (in some versions of MIUI, it may be called Touch Vibration or Feedback).
4. Turn off the sliders: 📳 Vibration when touching – disables response when pressed on the screen. 🔔 Vibration at notifications – removes fluctuations from messages. 📞 Vibration when calling – cancels vibration during incoming calls.

On HyperOS smartphones (such as Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70), the path may be slightly different: Settings → Sound → Vibration and tactile feedback.

⚠️ Note: On some models (e.g, POCO F5 Xiaomi 12T) After the vibration is turned off, it can continue to work in games, which is because the games use their own devices. API It's a vibration that doesn't depend on system parameters. Solution -- read method 4.

Method 2: Turn off vibration for individual applications

If you need to leave the vibration for important notifications (for example, calls), but remove it for messengers or social networks, use individual settings:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Select the app you want (like VK or Instagram).
3. Put it on the Notifications.
4. Turn on the Display Notifications switch (if it is turned off, the rest of the settings will not be available).
5. Scroll down and turn off Vibration (or Sound and Vibration depending on the MIUI version).

For Telegram and WhatsApp, vibration settings can be duplicated within the apps themselves: Chat settings → Notifications → Vibration.

💡

If there is no option to turn off vibration in the app settings, try turning off notifications first – often this automatically removes vibration.

Method 3: Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode

Do Not Disturb (DND) mode allows you to temporarily turn off all notifications, including vibrations, which is convenient at night or during important events.

1. Open Settings → Sounds and vibrations → Do not disturb.
2. Activate the slider Enable now or set up a schedule.
3. In the Rules section, select Only Important or Do Not Show Anything.
4. Make sure that options are disabled in addition: 🔔 Vibration on notifications 📞 Vibration on calls

On HyperOS, the path is different: Settings → Notifications and Status Bar → Do Not Disturb.

⚠️ Note: In Do Not Disturb mode, some system notifications (such as alarm clocks or low battery reminders) may still vibrate. To avoid this, add manual exceptions to your settings DND.

Method 4: Turning off vibration in games and specialized applications

Many games (such as PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, or Genshin Impact) use vibration to feedback when shooting, driving, or otherwise doing things, and can be turned off in two ways:

Option 1: In the game settings

Launch the game and find the settings section (usually an icon) ⚙️). Look for items like:

• 🎮 Vibration (in) PUBG Mobile - Settings → Mainstream → Vibration)

Option 2: Through Developer Settings (for stubborn applications)

If the game ignores system settings, try:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (tap 7 times).
2. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
3. Find Turn off vibration or Turn off tactile feedback and activate.

On some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro or Redmi K60), this option may be called Turn off vibration when touched and affect only system events, not games.

Method 5: Resetting vibration settings to factory

If the vibration is unpredictable after many changes (for example, it works in some applications and does not work in others), try resetting the settings:

1. Go to Settings → Sounds and vibration → Vibration.
2. Tap it on three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Reset settings.
3. Confirm the action.

Once reset, all vibration parameters will return to factory values, which can help if you have previously experimented with settings through ADB or third-party utilities.

💡

Resetting vibration settings does not affect other sound parameters (volume, ringing melodies, etc.), but will return standard vibration patterns for notifications and calls.

Additional Advice and Problem Solutions

If none of these methods worked, here are a few alternative solutions:

• 🔧 Update MIUI: Sometimes vibration bugs are fixed in new firmware versions. Check the updates in Settings → The phone. → Updating the system.
• 🛠️ Reset all settings: The last measure is reset to factory settings (don't forget to do a backup!). → The phone. → Resetting settings.
• 🤖 ADB-For experienced users, disable vibration via command line: adb shell settings put global vibration_intensity 0 (Developer Mode and Connection to be enabled USB).
• 📱 Third-party apps: Utilities like MacroDroid or Tasker allow you to create rules to turn off vibrations at specific times or for specific applications.

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB-commands can lead to unstable operation of the system if you enter incorrect parameters. → Additionally. → Backup and reset.
