Looks like the feature can be introduced by a community app on Google Play, but it requires the phone to be rooted which I would not have to in the first place if its an inbuilt feature.

* What is the desired behavior of the feature? (Be specific!)
The desired behavior of this feature would be to stop the vibrations system wide irrespective of what the individual apps has to say about it. This vibrations feature would be independent of my sound being turned on or if I have a silent profile setup. If the sound is turned on it will just play the sound (no vibrations) and if the Silent profile is turned on then it effectively would just light up the screen ( as no sound and/or vibrations would be played).
An alternative would be to introduce a separate permission for allowing apps to use the vibration motors on the phone (which I should be able to deny to when installing the app and still be able to use the app unless the app is solely based on use case of controlling the vibrations)
* If relevant, why are current approaches or workarounds insufficient?
There is no current approach to solve this problem unless you root the phone. The only other alternative is to request each individual app maker to provide a setting to disable vibrations for notifications generated from their apps which is never heard to since the apps are mostly free and without any sort of support.
* If relevant, what new use cases will this feature will enable?
This will allow users to control vibrations just like users can currently control the sound level and notification sound in general. It will also benefit the users with giving back some battery life (and charge) when the vibration motors are not used. User, unlike present scenario, would not have to root their phones to get this feature, which can come with problems of warranty of their own.
Hope this helps, and am happy to provide any other details to get this feature to life.
Thanks!

I would LOVE this to be fixed!!! What a pain in the arse

Yes, I have vibrate turned off on every app including text and it still vibrates on text. I can't make it stop!

i just want all vibrations off. even when they are supposed to be off i still get vibrate alerts.

I wonder if this will be fixed, ever? Coming from IOS, I find this super irritating not to be able to turn it off in my current os

My old version hard the option to shut off all vibration so this is very annoying on my new version. Please fix this issue.

You're waking up my wife at night! I've individually disabled vibrate on every app, but I've missed something because the phone keeps vibrating! I NEED vibration to be off permanently. I do not want the phone to vibrate ever. Please add this feature. Thank you.
ss...@gmail.com
On some phones vibrate is just as loud as a notification. So having vibration in is like having sound on. It's loud enough to wake people up who are sleeping next to you. So when in Do Not Disturb, Android should prevent ALL apps from vibrating. Do Not Disturb should mean "do not disturb" rather than "vibrate loud enough to wake your wife."

I made a vibrate pattern that makes no vibration and the damn apps bypass it and vibrate my phone anyway! It HURTS my hand! (I have nerve problems)
Please disable ALL vibrations when we disable vibrations!!! I'm a power user, and I feel powerless. Not a good feeling.
I threw my first flip phone in a closet because I couldn't bear the constant alarms for ads and wanting to be plugged and unplugged. I got my first smart phone in 2019, someone took pity on me and gave it to me. I waited that long because I HATE being harassed! This is mental conditioning. No wonder people check their damn phone every 3 seconds and have panic attacks without it.
This won't be me. Update that shit so it will obey ME and not the other way around.
In Terminator, skynet ends up a killer, well, our technology is an attention whore, screaming and doing a banging tantrum for attention.
I'd rather die. I don't even have kids or pets. I won't suffer the nagging of a machine.
TURN IT ALL OFF!
I shouldn't have to root my machine or rip it open to claw out the vibrating part because you can't program it properly.

Call me a conspiracy theorist. Go ahead.
But I say that this COMPULSORY FORCED VIBRATE crap is a control agenda, deliberately designed and ENFORCED (with zero effective cancellation options), intended to screw with the end user’s mind, by forcing them to constantly OBEY a stupid little rectangle of black plastic.
I drowned and smashed my smartphone with a hammer long ago, after months of futilely trying to alter it to my own specs by toggling to the ‘off’ position all the annoying app functions literally thousands of times, only to have them evilly bounce back to life without my permission.
I realized I was trying to fight fire with fire, and threw my phone down the toilet for an hour, before taking it out to the old slaughtering stump in the back yard and pulverizing it with a claw hammer, (a la Ms Clinton, although sans the motivation of the alleged evil emails😂).
I am ALLERGIC to that bullying vibrate noise.
The reason I’m even on this forum is because now my roommates phone is vibrating at top strength and it wakes me up from the next room, two doors away!!! WTF

Any updates? Not being able to control vibration seems like a major oversight.

Thank you for your feedback. We assure you that we are doing our best to address all issues reported. For now, we will be closing the issue as won't fix obsolete.

This isn't really obsolete, as the issue still persists years later. I created a new ticket for this:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/167352815
If you want to say "won't fix," that's fine. But it's definitely not obsolete.

+1. It's bizarre that you can't turn off notification vibrations system-wide without rooting your phone.
Description
Problem: It is annoying when the apps do not allow you to control the turning off of vibrations for their notifications in general and more so when you actually have sound turned on on the phone. I would want to be able to have a master setting that would disable vibrations completely on my phone disregarding the individual app level setting.
I would like to see a setting in Android phones that would allow me to disable vibrations system-wide. This feature would override all the apps I have on my android phone even if a particular app has the vibration settings turned on for them. It will be similar to the volume control setting we have today that is applicable to the phone itself and not a particular app installed. The vibration settings should be allowed to be turned off irrespective of sound setting being turned on or not.
Some of the forms that have already voiced this concerns:
Please help include this feature as soon as possible as this will not only save users from frustration of vibrations but also help in increasing the battery life of the phone.
Thanks!
