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

Vibration on Xiaomi smartphones can be a useful feature, but it is often a source of annoyance - especially when the phone twitches in your pocket from every notification or tap on the screen. Unlike other brands, MIUI firmware offers flexible vibration settings, but finding them is not always easy: settings are scattered across different menus, and in new versions the interface changes regularly.

This article will help you understand how to completely turn off vibration on Redmi, POCO Or Black Shark, and you can customize it selectively, for example, for calls or specific applications. MIUI 14/15, including hidden options that are not on the surface, and important: some methods require administrator rights or ADB-Teams, we'll take them down too.
