Hi all,
I had an S8+ and Whatsapp was set to show the badge if there was a message or group message only (no vibrate or sound) and worked flawlessly. I got an S10 about a month ago, and I have set it to silent + no vibrate (both in Whatsapp notifications and on system settings) but it keeps vibrating when I get a message. The system settings keep reverting back to 'sound and vibrate' every couple days so I keep changing it to 'silent + no vibrate'. But even when it's set to this, it still vibrates!!
It really annoys me, as I only want my phone to vibrate for calls, messages and emails, not Whatsapp.
Any ideas how to fix this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Whatsapp and it didn't fix it. I've done all software updates as well.
Go to Settings - Apps Notifications - Whatsapp, Block Notifications.

HI James, I still want an icon at the top of my screen when I have a message - I just don't want the sound or vibration.
Hi, any ideas?
There are three different settings for vibration in whatsapp: Messages, Groups and Calls. Have you tried disabling all of them?
Hi! Have you found a solution? I have the same problem on Note 9 and this drives me crazy.
Same for s20 fe that's a shame. It drives me crazy.

Hi..stupid question but i cannot seem to get my phone to vibrate whenever I receive a text or notification..can someone tell me where i can go to set this?
I tried going into settings, sound and display but i do not have vibrate as a selection in the notification ringtone tab.
Is there an app i can download that allows me to customize my sounds?
thanks!
the settings for notifications are within each messaging application. if you go to your sms application, hit the options button and go into settings. at the bottom you will find the notification settings, including vibrate and a ringtone selection. notifications for each of your messaging apps are configured this way.

Nothing you can do about that in android. Thats the default android vibrate for notifications. I think it sucks too, its way too short and too soft of a vibration.
What you can do is install SMS Popup. Go into settings on that app and enable notifications on it. It has more options for SMS notifications, like you can set a really long vibration. Just remember to then go into the Android messaging app and turn off notifications there, otherwise you'll get double notifications. This will only help fix the problem for SMS messages. I think android still sucks on incoming notifications for other items like emails, etc.
I REALLY like SMS Popup, its great.
whats the best custom setting. i am trying to set it so it virbates alot and i can feel it
Hello,
Recently I've been having issues with the notifications on the Gear 2 with Whatsapp+
I had my groups inside the app set to Mute and to not recieve notifications, it worked perfectly until one of the recent updates, which one, I'm not sure.
What happens now is the following:
Whenever I have no group messages I receive notifications from regular chats perfectly displaying who sent the message and the preview of the message BUT .....
Whenever I have unread group notifications (of which I have removed from pushing beyond the app) and a regular message is sent, the gear 2 pops up notification from the GROUP which is muted and notifications turned off.
Its annoying because I have to check who sent the message due to the fact that somehow the group notifications take priority in the preview of the message even though they are turned off..
Its really specific issue and hard to explain, I've searched forums and what not and I've yet to find anyone with this issue. Ive tried reinstalling gear software, resetting to factory settings, turning on/off notifications, installing regular Whatsapp to no avail.
I can't see the message from my contact whenever I have unseen group messages. very friggin frustrating....
Anyone know what causes this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

I've noticed the exact same thing
I have even upgraded from an S4 to an S5 and the problem is still there
Good evening at all,
I've already tried to do a forum search, but I did not find an answer.
I use Nova Launcher Pro.
I have a problem with notifications. Notifications work in whatsapps and sms, I see them on the top bar.
Instead, in other apps (calendar, inbox by gmail, netatmo security for example) are not seen. They appear quickly on the screen and then disappear.
Can someone help me?
I've already tried to modify the power saving options, but it does not change anything, even by changing the "special access" menu.
Thank you
guiduz
Have you gone into Nova settings and down to Notification badges, tap that and down on the bottom you will see TeslaUnread and enable the apps you want to get notifications from?
Hello, thanks for the answer.
My problem is of not having notification icons in the status bar for applications (for example the notifications of Netatmo, the security camera app ).
I have notification icons only for messaging programs (like whatsapp, sms etc.). For other apps, I have the only notifications that appear on the screen and soon disappear.
Thanks
guiduz
UP!
Please help me!
About phantom vibrations, today I was in front of my pc when I heard a vibration without notification on the phone and I noticed on the PC that I just had an email, so the ghost notification was due to the arrival of the email!
Im having the same issue, I get a vibration, and a quick flash of a notification.
So if my phone is in my pocket, by the time I get it out the notification will be gone.
Text message, whats app and gmail all seem to work
I dont get google voicemail notifications, group me notifications, let go notifications and a few others...help?
Took delivery of my S9 yesterday, my 1st foray into the world of android. Is there anyway to disable pop-up previews and just have a badge number to notify you when you have a WhatsApp message?. I have some fairly active WhatsApp groups and if I'm browsing the web, watching youtube, etc, basically doing anything on the phone at all its constantly previewing WhatsApp messages, toggling pop-ups off doesn't work, 2 minutes later they default back to on. If it can't be done its an absolute disaster, I can't believe anyone puts up with this - makes the phone almost un-usable. HELP!
Thanks in advance, Justin

I am having exactly the same problem with my S9+. and it is infuriating me! I have opened support cases with Whatsapp and Samsung regarding this because it is not normal functionality. On previous Android phones (LG G5, LG G6, Nexus 6p) i have been able to hide pop ups and keep the notifications as per normal, with the S9 its either everything on or turn off completely.
I have found a temporary workaround but it means all your notifications will be silent. You may be able to play around with the settings to get something that works for you!
Here is what i have done:
Go into Whatsapp > Settings > Notifications
Conversation Tones - Box unchecked
Notification Tone - Silent
Vibrate - Off
Popup Notification - No Popup
Now go to the home screen and go
Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp > Message Notifications
Importance - High
Sound - Silent
Vibrate - Off
App Icon Badges - On
On lock Screen - Hide Content
Finally make sure you have Edge Lighting Disabled
Settings > Display > Edge Screen > Edge Lighting Off
I hope that a fix for this is rolled out soon because its ruining my experience of my first Samsung.

Thanks so much for the reply, I've resorted to simply blocking the notifications entirely as whatever I change seems to magically revert back to what I can only assume is the default setting. Makes me almost certain its system/app bug opposed to operator error.
How something as rudemental as this makes it through BETA is almost beyond comprehension, such a shame. I can't believe that none of the top review and tech guys on YouTube haven't noticed this either.
As I mentioned in the OP this is my first android experience, how quick are things like this usually cleaned up? praying its resolved quickly!
I have the same issue it's becoming too annoying
Me too having the same issue.. with S9 Plus
Is there anyway we can hide the icon of whats app but phone should vibrate?
S20 WhatsApp notifications
And so here we are, 2 years on from the original WhatsApp notification issue on the s9, I'm sat here about the throw my brand new S20 against the wall for similar reasons.
My issue is, I can't seem to switch off the vibrate alert, whatever combination of settings I use I can't mute the vibrate without turning the whole phone to silent. I managed to sort it on the s9 with a random combination of settings that included having the alert set to high priority (for some reason), that option doesn't seem available these days. What an absolute farce. If anyone has managed to figure a work around, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I recently went from OG Pixel on Nougat rooted with Magisk v16.1 to Pixel 3 on Pie rooted with Magisk v19.2
I am having trouble making my phone not vibrate upon receiving notifications from Messages, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, and Gmail. Within the application, I have gone into settings and turned off vibrate. KakaoTalk and Gmail would not vibrate if my phone is set to ring, while Messages and WhatsApp would vibrate intermittently when set to ring.
My notifications is set to show sensitive content through the system settings. However, Messages still shows sensitive content, even though I have set the notifications to hide sensitive content under the "Other notification" tab.
I'm having a similar issue on stock 3 (nova launcher). Set Messages and Whatsapp to silent and to only vibrate, yet the phone changes the settings back to Make sound & pop on screen by itself. It's been super annoying and going on for a few days already. It does it both for individual and group messages, which makes the phone make sounds constantly ...
I haven't tried uninstall reinstalls yet, here looking for info ... how's this even a problem I don't understand. Notification settings just don't stick, changes back to default I guess ...
Not exactly the same issue, but for the past week or so I've noticed mine vibrating at night when I have it in DND mode. I'm fairly sure it didn't do that before.

Is it charging? If so, it could be that full charge vibration is on.

It is charging, but this is vibrating with notifications.

Were you able to figure out a fix to this by any chance? My Pixel 2 XL on Android 10 and Magisk 20.3 keeps resetting the sensitive notifications setting to on.
