Disabling vibration doesn't work for Telegram

Open Iowerth opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi. I'm using App Ops v5.4.3 and Telegram v8.1.2 (Android 10, MIUI 12). If I disable vibration for Telegram in App Ops then nothing happens - vibration still present in Telegram. While disabling vibration for any other app completely disables vibration.

Where did the vibration come from? If the vibration is from a notification, it is the system, not the application, is responsible for the vibration. Also, I have tested the vibration by long-pressing stickers, disabling vibration does work.

Vibration for notifications is disabled in Telegram's options - there are no problems with it. But in some cases vibration is present in Telegram:

  1. When using calendar - when you want to select a specific date of message.
  2. When using polls - when you want to select variant of answer.
  3. When using new feature "Jump to Next Channel".
  4. When selecting sticker - in my case vibration is still present.
  5. Maybe somewhere else.

Come back to this question in over a year, Telegram uses haptic feedback which does not need vibrate permission as well as OP_VIBRATE in appops. After a quick search of the Android source code, it seems that there is no way to disable haptic feedback for an individual app.
