Somewhere within the last few updates, it seems that haptic feedback has been added to whenever you swipe over a post.

I know a lot of Apple users were asking for this, but I really don't like it as an Android user who doesn't have haptic feedback for apps normally. It's annoying for my phone to be vibrating every 2 seconds when I'm doing things. Is there no option to turn it off?

Thanks! Loving the work you guys do!

Wait. How do I activate haptic feedback?

I wish I could tell you so I could turn it off lol. It happened around version 1 for me, but I can't exactly be sure of which version number. I'm also on Android if it helps.

I’m iOS no vibrations for me…

[-] burak@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ios safari doesn’t support the vibration api.

So it’s only android… I’ve more reason to make a IPK app

Same! It really threw me off first few times I upvoted stuff.

I would also like to know this!

[-] poquito_cabeza@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seconded.

I hope they'll add a toggle switch in the settings to enable/disable haptic feedback.

Yeah, it's not an android or ios thing for me. I just dislike the feature. Hell, vibration on keyboards always felt stupid to me, and this is just an extension of that in my mind.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to insinuate that all iOS users wanted it. I just kept seeing it requested over and over again from the Apollo crowd as I think it was a feature you could enable in that app.

No feedback here on Android... I wish. I am on 1.0.1

What browser are you on? I have haptics on vanadium (chromium) and none on fennec (firefox)

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Huh, so they really implemented it!

I can't say I'm a fan of it, but it doesn't annoy me, I was just confused that suddenly I got haptic feedback in the Android webapp lol.

I don't have haptic feedback from Voyager on Android either, im using Firefox. I would guess there might be somewhere in the browser settings, or in device settings to turn off all haptic feedback.

[-] mac@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I have it on chromium

[-] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was kinda guessing it was a browser difference. If you can't find a browser or device setting and really can't stand it you can just switch to Firefox or some other browser.
