Any one notice the short jarring jolt of a vibration that happens every time a message is received in iMessage while using the app? It was a longer vibration in 7.0 and it didn't bother me but the short jolt in 7.1 just annoys the heck out of me.
Through settings I was able to disable vibration when iMessage is closed but I'd prefer the opposite! Stop jolting me with a vibration when I can see that a message came.
Inspired by the following quote, "You should never prompt the user for something that the computer can figure out on its own."
You shouldn't bug the user with vibrations if the user is actively using the app. Unless they're playing Operation.
Anyone know how to turn this off?
I noticed this too and thought maybe it was a bug (that they shortened the vibration). I prefer the longer vibration like you...the short one now just seems...odd. Like it's a tic of some sort rather than a way of notifying you. It's definitely not something I can hear/feel as easily if I were to set the phone down while I was in the Messages app. I wish they implemented finer toggles for notifications but oh well. I don't think there's a way to turn it off, short of turning off vibration altogether.
