No vibration in incoming whatsapp calls.

[Nklkhanna]

I own a samsung galaxy S10e and last night my phone got updated to android 10 Since the update there is No vibration in incoming whatsapp calls. No matter if it's a video call or voice there is no vibration.
This a big problem for me as i keep my phone on vibration mode most of the time.

Does anyone facing this? Or has any solution?

Unfortunately this is an android 10 and WhatsApp issue. I'm in the same situation, my phone is mostly on silent, so will be missing quite a few calls.

Oneplus, and even the pixel phones are having this issue, with no fix so far 😞

The weird thing is that it if you have the app open and on silent, it will vibrate. So not sure what's gone wrong

I own a Galaxy S10 and I updated to Android 10 couple of days back. Since then, my phone stopped vibrating for WhatsApp incoming calls. It vibrates for first ring only, like an SMS notification vibration and stops while the phone continues to ring. I reported the matter to WhatsApp but as usual, they gave a generic response talking about system settings and all that.

I've also had this issues.

Happens since, Android 10 One UI 2.0

Most 3rd Party App that have VoIP (Signal, Line, Telegram, etc) excluding whatsapp: There's no vibration on Incoming Call when the screen is on or if the app is not active in the foreground (on the home screen / other app). Turning on vibration for calls in Samsung's Notification settings for each of the apps only results in vibration once, and then nothing (as If you're getting a chat notification). If Set to Sound Mode: ringtone + only a single short vibrate. If on vibrate mode: no ringtone + only a single short vibration. I've also found if the app you're receving the calls are in the foreground, Vibration works normally sometimes, like it used to long and repeating until the call ends/cancelled.

Whatsapp is a special case, I guess the same issue + Whatsapp own issue: No vibration even when the app is active in the foreground while receiving calls. The only vibration is a single shot vibration as of the above.

Also another annoying thing, all 3rd party VoIP Call Incoming Screen (the one with answer/decline button), does NOT appear anymore when the phone screen is one, only when the screen is off. Which is quite annoying, since the phone main job is well, to receive phone calls. I'd rather that It gave the options like the stock phone app how incoming call screen is displayed: as a pop up notification or a full screen one.

Stock "Phone" app works normally as it should nothing like all these 3rd party app.

Had anyone tried Factory Resetting, it's not an option for me currently.

I have the same problem and was wondering if it was just me. I use a Note 9 and had the software updated a few days ago. Ever since, I don't get any vibration with incoming WhatsApp calls. My phone is usually on Vibrate mode. Don't know how to fix this issue.

I also have this issue with my note 10. I often have my phone on vibrate mode. My whatsapp will not vibrate for the first message but will vibrate once on the second message. So if someone send me one message it will not vibrate. Also incoming whatsapp call will not appear on the screen I will not get notification, only if I open whatsapp I see missed calls on whatsapp. I really hope someone can solve this.

It happens to me too.

I also get problems where someone is calling me (you can hear the ringtone) but no notification or calling screen. It happens on VIBER.

Its all just some things that Android 10 and apps need to iron out...one day

I think I've managed to work it out on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Android Version One Ui 2.0). I've done the below:

In app settings 

Whatsapp > Settings > Notifications 

Change the default vibration to "long" for both messages and calls.

Android notifications settings for the app 

Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp 

Change the "Call settings" from Silent to Alert and switch on Vibrate. If needed go in each setting option and change it to Alert

I've noticed that when the display is on it just vibrates once for a call/medsages and pop up shows but pop remains on disolay

There has been some instances that it doesn't respond to the settings config but so far it's been alerting me to my needs based on how it was previously. 

See how you all go until a fix comes along..

Ah sorry for the late reply, I managed to fix it....it was just a matter of clearing cache and data then uninstalling for me. Once re-installed it works as it used to. Vibrating when on silent etc....
