Do you want to disable the new Haptics feature added to Pokémon Go? Here’s exactly how to do it, as well as what this feature brings to your game.

Although filled with little pocket monsters, the intrinsic nature of Pokémon Go is to immerse the player, merging the game and the real world into one. Thanks to Routes, PokéStops, Raids, and more, the game was able to accomplish this, but Niantic is still looking to improve its immersive aspect.

In the case of Pokémon Go, this essentially makes your phone vibrate when the Pokéballs touch the Pokémon or when they bounce on the screen. While this can be immersive for some, others find it rather distracting, especially when looking to make a tricky throw.
