No Vibrate with Notifications on XA2

Changing from XA1 to XA2 is a significant difference, mainly as Android 7 becomes Android 8.

Notifications are completely different. I can't see how to make notifications vibrate please!??

OK it's much, much more complicated than I thought. 

For each app, go into Settings, Apps, Notifications and you get Categories. It's not obvious but you can open up each category for more complications. 

If you still can't see Vibrate you have to adjust Importance. It seems to work on a hierarchy . As it gets more important you get Notification with sound and then Vibrate appears at High Importance. 

It's taken me two days. Have fun experimenting.

I have had an online chat with Sony and was told that Settings takes me to individual Notifications setup for each app. That is true, making it all overly complicated. 

He said just click the Vibrate option  

There is no Vibrate option, not on any apps.
