How to completely remove vibration on Xiaomi: 7 working ways

Vibration on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature for alerts, but sometimes it is annoying: distracting during games, interferes with typing, or just seems excessively intense. Depending on the model (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11, etc.) and the version of MIUI (13, 14 or HyperOS), the ways to turn off vibration can vary. In this article, we will analyze all possible options from basic settings to hidden parameters for advanced users.

Xiaomi's peculiarity is that vibration is not only controlled at the system level, but also separately for keyboards, notifications, calls and even gestures. If you've tried to turn it off through Settings → Sound, but the vibration still remains, then the problem lies in another section. We have collected 7 proven methods, including those that are not obvious at first glance.

1.Switching off vibration in the main MIUI settings

The easiest way is to use standard system settings. This method works on all Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices with MIUI 12 and later, as well as on HyperOS.

1. Open Settings (the gear icon on the main screen).
2. Go to Sound and Vibration (or just Sound on older versions).
3. Scroll down to the Vibration block.
4. Turn off the sliders: 📳 Vibration when pressed – disables response when touching the screen. 🔔 Vibration when calling – removes vibration during incoming calls. 📩 Notification Vibration – Deactivates the Vibration Response to New Messages.

If your MIUI version doesn’t have separate sliders, look for a common Vibration switch – turning it off will block all vibration signals at once. Note: on some models (POCO F4, Redmi K50), this section may be called Tactile Feedback.

💡

On smartphones with HyperOS (e.g. Xiaomi 14), the path to vibration settings may vary: Settings → Connected devices → Vibration and sounds.

2. How to remove the vibration of the keyboard (Gboard, SwiftKey, MIUI Keyboard)

The typing vibration is controlled separately from the system settings. If you use a standard MIUI Keyboard or a third-party keyboard, the algorithm will be different. Let's look at both.

For MIUI Keyboard (Xiaomi's built-in keyboard):

1. Open any field to enter text (e.g., in Messages).
2. Press the badge. ⚙️ (gear on the keyboard → Select Settings.
3. Go to Additional Settings (or Premium Features on newer versions).
4. Turn off Vibration when pressed and Key Sound.

For Gboard (keyboard from Google):

1. Start Settings → System → Language and input.
2. Select the Virtual Keyboard → Gboard.
3. Go to Input Options → Vibration when pressed and deactivate it.

If the vibration remains after the shutdown, check the settings of a particular messenger (for example, Telegram or WhatsApp has its own notification options).

3. Hidden vibration settings through developer mode

On some Xiaomi models (especially those with MIUI 13/14), the standard settings do not allow the vibration to be completely turned off, in which case the developer mode, where additional options are hidden, will help.

How to turn on the developer mode:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Click on the MIUI version 7 times in a row (you will be notified “You became a developer”).
3. Return to Settings → Additional settings → For developers.

On Xiaomi 13/14 with HyperOS, the path to these settings may differ: Settings → Connected devices → Special Features → Vibration.

4.Outact vibration for specific applications

If the vibration is only annoying in certain apps (such as Instagram, TikTok or games), it can be turned off selectively.

1. Press the app icon on the home screen → select Application Information (or Information).
2. Press Notifications.
3. Turn off Vibration or set No Sound for the notification channel.

For games (e.g. PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact) the vibration is usually set within the app itself:

• 🎮 Open the game settings → Sound/Vibration.
• 🔕 Turn off tactile feedback or vibration when shooting.

If the application does not allow you to turn off the vibration, try to limit its rights through Settings → Applications → Permissions by blocking access to Vibration (not all firmware supports this feature).

5. Vibration when charging - how to remove

Many Xiaomi users are faced with the phone vibrating when connected to charging, which is not a bug, but a charging alert function, which can be turned off as follows:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Select Vibration when connecting the charger (the name may vary).
3. Turn off the slider or install it without vibration.

If there is no such item, try an alternative way through the developer mode:

1. Activate the developer mode (see Section 3).
2. Find the option to turn off vibration when charging or Charging Notices.

💡

On the POCO F5 and Redmi Note 12 Pro+, the vibration when charging is turned off via Settings → Battery → Battery settings → Charging notifications.

6. resetting settings to factory (if nothing helps)

If the vibration does not turn off in any of these ways, the problem can be a failure of system parameters, in which case the reset will help, but note: this will delete all data from the device (take backup!).

How to reset your settings:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Choose Resetting (or Resetting and Resetting).
3. Click Reset all settings (not to be confused with Reset to Factory, which deletes files!).
4. Confirm the action.

⚠️ Note: For Xiaomi with HyperOS, resetting may require you to enter a password from your Mi Account. If you do not remember it, restore access in advance through the official website.

After resetting, the vibration should turn off, but you will have to reconfigure other system settings (Wi-Fi, accounts, etc.).

7.Vibration problems on specific Xiaomi models

Some Xiaomi devices have unique vibration control features, and the table below shows common models and their pitfalls:

If your model is not in the table, check if the firmware has updated to the latest version. Often, vibration bugs are fixed in new builds of MIUI or HyperOS.

⚠️ Note: On Xiaomi with custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience), the vibration settings may be in other sections. → System system → Vibration or through search by settings.
