Description
Problem
iOS has the feature of creating custom vibration patterns that can be assigned to notifications.
In iOS 13 it is possible to create them in Settings -> Sounds: Sounds and Vibration Patterns -> Text Tone (any would work) -> Vibration: Custom -> Create New Vibration.
They can then be assigned to built-in apps via Settings -> Sounds.
However it looks like setting custom vibration patterns to third-party app notifications is only possible via the in-app settings. Currently Telegram does not have the option to set a vibration pattern for notifications, but just a sound.
Scenario
My personal use case scenario is actually pretty simple: the default vibration pattern for notification is way too long and annoying when receiving many notifications in a short amount of time and I would like to change it with a much shorter vibration (indeed now I am forced to disable sounds, while a much shorter one would be ok - I tested it on Messages app).
Generally speaking I think it could be useful to distinguish a notification when the phone in silent mode without looking.
New Feature Request
Add an option in Telegram settings to set a vibration pattern for notifications (among the default ones and the ones created via the iOS functionality).
