You have to switch it on. Not off. Also haptic feedback should already work for gestures. Maybe you've turned them off system wide somehow?
Sorry I meant I had switched it on not off. Does not work on my phone, neither gestures nor action buttons. I tested again on Voyager app and they work there, so no probs with systemwide function. Maybe wait for some more feedback from other users?
I just tested on the play store version on 3 devices:
It worked on all 3 devices. Note that there is a way to fire off haptic feedback even if you turn it off in the system settings. Summit does not use this method. It's possible other apps are firing haptics by ignoring the system setting.
The settings for haptic I have is to vibrate on all actions of the phone (not talking about Summit) like back open close apps etc. So when this is on then yes I have vibration in Summit as well but in every action even if the haptics in the Summit settings is off. So it's not that. Dunno if it's a GrapheneOS setting which I doubt since it works in Voyager app. Strange...
For haptics, I am purposefully respecting the user's global settings for vibrations (this is also recommended by Android's documentation). So if haptics is off, then haptics will not work in the app. However there is a way to ignore the system setting. I'm not 100% sure if that's what Voyager is doing but it could explain why haptics works even if haptics is off.
