Health, Medicine, Notifications, vibration short only?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I would like to set the medication alert that vibrates on my watch to a short vibration one time.

Currently it seems Samsung has 'decided' that medication is so important that the watch vibrates continuously on the watch until I interact, that's nonsense, and I hope very much that I am missing a setting and it's just me?  If I cannot stop the continuous vibration on watch for medicines, then I will be forced to not use the health medication at all.

I don't know what you are talking about.  The vibrations on the watch are the same for all notifications, and you set the duration and pattern.  The medication reminder does not have it's own specific vibration pattern or duration.  When my med reminder comes, it just has the normal notification vibration pattern and duration.  You then either ignore the notification or dismiss it by tapping the "take all" or "delete" button.  If you just swipe it away or ignore it, it still does not continually vibrate, but it will pop up to remind you again in 15 minutes.  But, yes, you must interact with it in some way before it goes away.  Dismiss or acknowledge you took/are going to take the medications. I assume you turned medication reminders on for a reason, therefore, it is doing its job to remind you.  if you don't like the way it reminds you, turn the reminders off.  There are two types of medication reminder notifications - light and strong. Perhaps you picked the wrong one.  Go to the health app notification settings on the phone (make sure notification categories is turned on). Tap on categories and turn the slider on or off for either the strong reminder or the light reminder.  I use the light reminder, which may be why I am not having the same issue as you. To turn on notification categories, if you do not already have them enabled, go to settings/notifications/advanced settings/manage notification categories for all apps.
