Haptic Feedback

Haptic feedback is a subtle vibration can be triggered on the user's device when they interact with something. It's a great way to indicate that an action has been completed or get the user's attention.

Haptic feedback is cool and easy to implement on React Native. It's tempting to just use it everywhere! However, a little goes a long way — or it just becomes tactile noise.

When to Buzz Your User

We've agreed as a product design team to only use haptic feedback when the user:

  • Checks or unchecks a Task
  • Stars anything
  • Receives a notification or toast message
  • Drags to refresh
  • Drags an item to reorder
  • Long presses an item
