How to turn off vibrations in Android 8.0 Oreo when receiving text messages?

Hi there,

I have just upgraded my XPERIA X to Android 8.0 (firmware build number 34.4.A.0.364) and noticed that it now vibrates every time I get a text message. I coud not find on the settings within the messages app any option to disable vibrations.

How can one do it while keeping sound notifications when receiving text messages?

Please kindly assist.

Thanks.

Go to Apps and Notifications > Notifications > choose catogocate > scroll down to last find & select "default" choose "importance" deselect "urgent" & select "medium" 

U cud see the vibration is off for the particular catogcat

Hi again @cobbler and I'm really glad to hear that! Slightly_smiling_Face

Let me know if there is anything else I may assist you with!

@Sammm, that is correct! In most applications you have to tap one of the "actions" to see to be able to edit the different types of notifications, such as vibrate, change tone for incoming SMS and so forth as they are no longer available directly in the settings for each application!
