The evolution of the Android OS has been quite phenomenal. The recent version of the mobile operating system, Android 15, brings lots of new features that greatly enrich the user experience. Attention to smaller details is what makes the new Android OS awesome.
In this guide, we have discussed the adaptive vibration feature available on Android 15. We have explained how to enable the feature on your devices running the latest Android OS.
What is Adaptive Vibration in Android 15?
Normally, when you set your phone to vibrate, it can trigger a loud vibration in the event of a notification, call, or message.
At times, you may be at college, library, or work. The vibration can be loud enough to distract others around you. Surely, it might get embarrassing for most.
This is where Android 15 adaptive vibration comes to your rescue. After you enable the feature, the intensity of the vibration will be less if the OS senses that the phone is in a quiet environment.
Similarly, if you are in a place with louder noise, the intensity of the vibration will be higher so that you do not miss out on your notifications and calls.
The sensors on the phone will learn the environment around the device and allow the notification vibration to ‘adapt’ accordingly.
Steps to Enable Adaptive Vibration on Android
If you are using a Google Pixel 7 or a newer Pixel device (running on Android 15), here is how you can turn the adaptive vibration on.
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to Sound and Vibration.
- Access Vibration and Haptics.
- Press the toggle next to Adaptive Vibration.
NOTE: The adaptive vibration feature is disabled by default. You have to turn it on if you feel the need to use it to your advantage.
On other non-pixel devices on Android 15, you can still manage the vibration intensity by choosing to set lower, medium, or high-intensity buzz. However, it won’t be adaptive.
- Go to Settings > Sound and Vibration.
- Access the Vibration Settings.
- Under the Intensity tab, drag the slider to set Low, Medium, or High buzz for notification vibrations.
Note that Android 15 is being rolled out in batches for various eligible devices from different phone makers.
So, you may not see the adaptive vibration feature right away, and it may be integrated at a later point on your phone.
Also, depending on your phone maker’s native OS, the adaptive vibration may be introduced with a different name but offering the same function.
Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
Is the data captured by sensors to adapt the vibration intensity recorded or shared?
NO. Google assures that adaptive vibration depends on the device’s microphone and other sensors to understand the environment in which the device is present. The corresponding data is neither recorded nor shared anywhere.
Which Android Version Supports Adaptive Vibration Feature?
Adaptive Vibration is available on Android OS 15 and all the later versions of Android.
Do All Devices Running on Android 15 Have Adaptive Vibration in the Settings?
NO. If the device is updated to Android 15 but lacks the necessary hardware sensors, you may not see the Adaptive Vibration feature on it.
Bottom Line
Now, the vibration buzz is not going to grab the eyeballs from people around you. The notification vibration on your phone will be subtle enough to allow you to attend to your calls or texts.
If you have a device eligible for the Android 15 OS, install the update and enable Adaptive Vibration. It will manage the notification vibration in a balanced way without making it too loud or quiet.
