How to Remove Notification Vibration on Xiaomi: 5 Ways to Work with All Models

Vibration at notifications on Xiaomi smartphones can be a useful feature, but it often becomes a source of irritation — especially at night or in quiet rooms. Even in silent mode, many models continue to vibrate, which interferes with concentration or sleep. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off vibration for different types of notifications, including system, messengers and social networks.

It is important to understand that the settings may vary depending on the version of MIUI (12 to 14) and the phone model (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11, etc.).We will look at the universal methods that work on most devices, and also point out the features for specific firmware. If you do not find the desired option, check the version of MIUI in Settings → About the phone.

1. Disable vibration for all notifications via system settings

The fastest way to remove vibration is to use global sound settings, which is suitable for MIUI 12/13/14 and turns off vibration for all applications except alarm clocks and bells.

Instructions:

• 📱 Open Settings (cog icon on the desktop).
• 🔊 Go to the section Sound and vibration.
• 📳 Find the Vibration item at notifications and move the slider to the off position.
• 🔄 For MIUI 14 may need to further disable Vibration when touching if it interferes.

On some models (Redmi 10, POCO M4), this item may be called Notification Vibration or hidden in the submenu of Additional Settings.

⚠️ Attention: Xiaomi with Android 13+ (MIUI 14) after disabling vibration in the system settings, some applications (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram) may ignore this setting, in which case you will need to adjust the vibration separately for each messenger (see section 3).

2.Separate vibration control for specific applications

If you only need to turn off vibration for specific programs (like VK or Instagram), use each app’s notification settings.This method works on all versions of MIUI and does not affect system alerts.

How to do this:

1. Press the notification from the desired app (such as Facebook) and select Notification Settings.
2. In the menu that opens, look for Vibration or Sound and Vibration.
3. Choose the option No vibration or turn off the slider.
4. For MIUI 13/14, you may need to click Additional or Notification Categories first.

On some models (Redmi Note 11, POCO F4), the path may be different: Settings → Applications → Application Management → [Select App] → Notifications → Vibration.

3.Use of Do Not Disturb mode for temporary shutdown

If you need vibration during the day but interfere with the night, use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which allows you to flexibly adjust periods of silence, including turning off vibrations.

Mode setting:

• 🕒 Go to Settings. → Sounds and vibrations → Don't disturb.
• 🔄 Turn on the slider Include on schedule and set the time (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).
• 📵 In the Rules section, select Only an alarm clock or Do not show anything.
• ⚙️ In Additional settings, turn off Vibration in "Do Not Disturb" mode".

On MIUI 14, you can create multiple DND profiles (e.g., "Work", "Sleep", "Meeting") with different vibration settings.

1. Click Add the rule to the Do Not Disturb menu.
2. Choose Set up manually.
3. Turn off the vibration and save the profile.

💡

Create a Do Not Disturb mode label on your desktop: press the blank space on the screen → Widgets → Do Not Disturb. This will allow you to quickly turn on / off the mode with one touch.

4. Disable vibration through the developer (for power users)

If standard methods don’t work (e.g. custom firmware or Xiaomi.eu), you can turn off the vibration via the developer menu, which requires caution, as incorrect settings can affect the stability of the system.

Step-by-step:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times in a row).
2. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
3. Find the item Turn off vibration or vibration when touching and deactivate it.
4. To completely disable the vibration notifications find system_ui_tuner (if there is, and disconnect notification_vibration.

Some firmware (Xiaomi.eu or LineageOS) may need to be used. ADB-For example, teams:

adb shell settings put global vibration_intensity 0

⚠️ Warning: Changing the developer settings can cause sensor or system notifications to crash. Before experimenting, back up via Mi Cloud or TWRP, If your phone is unlocked.

If Xiaomi’s built-in tools don’t work, third-party tools can be used, offering flexible vibration management, including schedules and exceptions for individual contacts.

Popular applications:

• 📲 MacroDroid – allows you to create rules to turn off vibrations by time, place or event (for example, when connecting to Wi-Fi).
• 🔕 Vibration Tuner – fine-tuning the intensity and vibration patterns for different types of notifications.
