After Android 12 update, notifications no longer vibrating (Samsung S21 Ultra)
I typically have my phone set on vibrate. Prior to the update to 12, the phone would vibrate when I received a notification. That no longer happens post-update.
So far I have tried restarting and messing around with the Notification settings in Android and in the individual apps.
This is an issue with all apps by the way, such as Google Messages, Gmail, etc.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I can totally relate to you. Even I had the same problem on my phone after updating it to Android 12. I must say, this is one of the worst update I have ever seen on Android. This update is full of issues and bugs. Can't understand what takes too long to Android to fix these issues.
Anyway, you may try some basic fixes to resolve the problem on your own, such as make sure notification sound of each app is set to normal, DND is not enabled on the phone, you can also reset settings, or if nothing worked downgrade your phone from Android 12.
Apart from these troubleshooters, there are some more ways to tackle this problem which you can find here: No Notification Sound After Android 12 Update
FYI I received an update this morning from t mobile on my S21 Ultra and the issue was fixed. Hopefully yours will be too. Thank you for the tips tho I really appreciate them.
The issue was indeed with any and all apps. I really tried everything, including the power save settings, repairing apps, phone reset, wipe cache, etc. It drove me nuts as I almost always have the phone on vibrate.

I also noticed when I put my phone in vibrate the notifications volume bar gets completely grayed out. Hope they fix it soon.

Keep going. Notification Categories > Alerts> Vibrate toggle On.
This thread is a few months old, but I recently realized I'm having this problem too. I tried all the solutions here and in other places as well. I finally figured out the solution for my phone at least.
Under "Vibration Intensity" in Settings, the Notifications level had been turned all the way off. I don't know how that happened because I definitely didn't change it myself, and no one else I know would've done it even as a prank. But that has fixed it for me!
I already turned it back up when I took these screenshots but I wanted to illustrate where in the settings this is.
