Is it possible to have vibration on my watch for Telegram app notifications e.g. if the Sounds bar is off for this app on my phone in notifications settings?

Vibration on my phone is also disabled. I receive notifications silently—they arrive, and the screen turns on, but the watch remains completely silent (no vibration). The notifications are just placed in the Notification Center.

Yes, it is possible to have vibration notifications for the Telegram app on your Apple Watch Ultra 2, even if the Sounds bar is off for this app on your iPhone. Here's how you can ensure this works:

  1. Check Notification Settings on iPhone:
    • Go to Settings > Notifications > Telegram.
    • Ensure that Allow Notifications is enabled.
    • Under Alerts, select the desired notification style (Lock Screen, Notification Center, or Banners).
    • Even if the Sounds toggle is off, the notification will still trigger haptic feedback on your Apple Watch.
  1. Apple Watch Notification Settings:
    • Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
    • Navigate to Notifications > Telegram.
    • Ensure that notifications are set to Mirror my iPhone or Custom. If using custom settings, enable Haptic Alerts.
  1. Silent Mode on Apple Watch:
    • If you want vibration without sound, enable Silent Mode on your Apple Watch. Swipe up on the watch face to access the Control Center and tap the bell icon to activate Silent Mode.
  1. Haptic Alerts:
    • On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
    • Ensure that Haptic Alerts are enabled. You can also select Prominent Haptic for stronger vibrations.

If you encounter issues, you can try restarting both your iPhone and Apple Watch or unpairing and pairing them again. For further assistance, you can refer to Apple's official support articles on managing notifications and setting up haptic alerts.
