My phone wont stop vibrating

[Luvvwon_1]

My phone worked normally yesterday but when I woke up today and opened snapchat I noticed that a vibration would go off every 2 seconds. I tried restarting it but it didn't work. I did however notice that whenever it would vibrate, the symbol of my locations would turn on and then off. I tried turning off the locations but it still vibrates. It's very annoying and I thought it was only on snapchat but then sometimes when I would scroll through my phone it would vibrate. I have a Samsung galaxy s21

Every time I go on snapchat my location icon flickers and I keep getting vibrations every couple seconds

I think I may has resolved this by turning the NFC off. Not ideal but it isn't vibrated in the last 15 mins

This exact same problem occured with myself as well, It was fine last night GMT but then it decided to do it and it is the most annoying thing known to man, Im assuming it is a fix that samsung needs to implement but untill then god help me.

Putting this in for anyone who'se experiencing this issue at the moment.

Think this issue is caused by the nfc consistantly trying to read your cards when snapchat is open.
You probably keep cards in your phone case, if you take them out it will temporarily solve your issue.
This would include anything with a chip; a debit card, Student ID, etc.

Hopefully snapchat or samsung input a fix for this, until then you can either keep your cards out of your phone case or turn off NFC and turn it back on right before paying for something with your phone. Kind of interesting why & how snapchat is interfering with the NFC scanner.

It's never ever done it before.

This happened to me yesterday morning too!

I tried this and it worked! I had my ID in a phone wallet. Turning off the NFC and/or taking out the ID both did the trick. Hopefully it's fixed soon!

Just noticed this is happening to my S23 Ultra when I open a chat in snapchat same thing vibrates and flashes the location symbol in the top bar but seems it stops when im out of a chat, glad im not the only one.

This was actually what was doing it for me, so weird ive always had my cards in the back of my phone and never had this happen, weird how snapchat was a part of it triggering as well..
