When you tap certain items your phone will vibrate just a bit, giving you a little feedback. Sometimes this is nice, but maybe you don't like it. The good news is it's easy to disable on any Android device.

Of course, this is Android we're talking about, so the process is going to vary depending on your specific model. That being said, you should be able to follow along loosely and find the necessary settings on your phone or tablet.

How to Disable Haptic Feedback on a Google Pixel

First, swipe down from the top of the screen twice to expand the Quick Settings, then tap the gear icon to open the Settings, according to HowtoGeek.

From there, jump down to the "Sound & Vibration" option. Tap that. Scroll down to "Vibration & Haptics." Note that this will be disabled if your phone is on silent mode, which also disabled haptics. Now simply toggle off the switch for "Use Vibration & Haptics."

If you'd also like to remove touch vibrations from the keyboard, check out our guide for how to do that.

How to Disable Haptic Feedback on a Samsung Galaxy

First, swipe down once from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon to open the Settings. Now go to the "Sounds and Vibration" section, according to Android Central. 

Scroll down to "System Sound/Vibration Control." The bottom section of toggles is for vibration. Toggle on or off any of the things you'd like to change.

Note that you can disable vibration for the Samsung Keyboard here, but if you use another keyboard, you'll have to do it from that app's settings.

Your phone will now be vibration and haptic feedback-free. Haptic feedback is nice if your phone has a good vibration motor, but it can be annoying if it doesn't feel good.

How to Adjust the Vibration Intensity of Your Android Phone

Your phone, by default, is set to vibrate when you interact with it or receive a notification. But if its intensity is too jarring for you, Android allows you to easily customize your phone's vibration levels. Here's how to do it.

Visit your Android phone or tablet's Settings menu from the app drawer or by tapping the gear icon in the notification panel. Scroll down and enter the "Accessibility" menu.

Under "Interaction Controls" located toward the bottom of the page, select "Vibration and Haptic Haptics" (or "Vibration and Haptic Strength").

Here, you can separately personalize your phone's haptic feedback strength and how strongly it buzzes when you get a phone call or a notification. You can choose between three levels of intensity or turn it off completely.

On some devices, such as Google Pixel handsets, the intensity can be customized on a sliding scale.

How to Adjust Vibration Intensity on a Samsung Galaxy

If you own a Samsung Android device, you won't find this option in the "Accessibility" menu.

To access it, open the "Settings" app and go to Sounds And Vibration > Vibration Intensity.
Tune the available sliders to adjust the vibration intensity of incoming calls, notifications, and touch interaction response to your liking, according to Groovy Post.

You should be able to locate the "Vibration intensity" setting through one of these two methods as long as your phone has Android 10 or above.
