Go to the app, tap the pokeball then settings. Choose vibrate off

@DenisRraku I think he was meaning that if you silence vibration globally, the app shouldn't ignore that setting.

@shamburg82 This issue comes from the way the vibration gets triggered. It doesn't use the notification API for signaling pokemons. Same happens to the sound, which acts like standart music playback. @ST-Apps correct me if I checked this wrong.

is a option in settings and it is easy to do so please close this @shamburg82

I know its an option because I turned it on (default is off). But no one should have to go into options of every app every time I want to completely silence their phones when there is a global option for that built into the OS. Its just bad programming to bypass it.

I agree with samburg82, I do not have an Android phone but we should just copy their settings in this case. At the end, PoGo UWP is trying to follow the exact same behavior of the original Pokemon Go.

Interfacing with the API shouldn't be too hard in my opinion, maybe a line or two that just checks what the system says it's set to, and then firing only if it's on.

@sjetha AFAIK the API should just handle it itself, no need to check it at all, if it's done properly.

To add to this I am getting vibrations for new Pokémon after completely closing the app so it seems like the notifications are getting stuck somewhere and keep firing.

@herby40 are you sure you completely closed the app? I noticed with Windows 10 mobile that pressing the back arrow often times doesn't close the app like it did in windows phone 8/8.1. It only puts the app into standby.

(Don't get angry at me for not believing you, I am just making sure.)
