Alerts Vibration for Beacon

Beacon is now able to execute device vibration when receiving In-App Alerts and Push Notifications.
If your device is capable to produce vibration, the related settings are controlled by the operating system.

On iOS devices:

  1. Open the device Settings app
  2. Go to Sound & Haptics
  3. Under RINGTONE AND ALERTS select Haptics
  4. Choose your preference:
    1. Always Play: Haptics will play when iPhone rings or receives an alert.
    2. Play in Silent Mode: Haptics will play when iPhone rings or receives an alert while in silent mode.

** Additional Notes :

  • Please beware that Haptics settings affect the device globally, meaning that the settings you select here may affect all Notifications and Alerts for other apps.

On Android devices:

  1. Open the device Settings app
  2. Go to Sounds and vibration
  3. Use toggle switch to activate Vibrate while ringing
  4. Choose the preferred Notification vibration pattern
  5. Choose the preferred Vibration intensity 

** Additional Notes :

  • Please beware that Vibration settings affect the device globally, meaning that the settings you select here may affect all Notifications and Alerts for other apps.
  • The example graphics provided are from a device with Android OS version 12.
Your device settings may look different if another Android version is installed.
