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!

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

    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.

    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.

        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.
