I am having issues with notifications in WhatsApp since updating the app and my phone to Android 8. I don't like the new default pop-up and changed Priority from Urgent to Low (no sound no pop-up). All I want is the LED flash and top left notification icon. It was once I turned off the pop-up that it started to vibrate for messages when ive never had that setting on for WhatsApp.
I've tried all combinations of urgent/medium/low priority setting and it keeps vibrating when I get a message. I turn off vibrate in WhatsApp and system>notifications>WhatsApp. But it keeps changing back to Default vibrate when I get a new message.
My sound is set to mute/vibrate for calls but taking it off silent doesn't make a difference either. I've resorted to turning off all notifications for WhatsApp because I found it so annoying.
I don't know what is overriding the low priority/no sound/no vibrate. I have tried resetting preferences in the app and even reinstalling it but neither have helped.
I had issues before with WhatsApp and Nougat with LED flash not working so I was happy when I saw it working again but now I'm having this problem I'm really annoyed with Sony/Android/WhatsApp.
