It can be awkward to answer a call in the middle of a presentation or meeting, especially if your ringtone is excessively loud. It is preferable to have your iPhone on vibrate in order to prevent these scenarios.

We have compiled a comprehensive guide that will show you how to set your iPhone to vibrate using easy, step-by-step instructions. We’ll also talk about several solutions for non-vibrating iPhones.

Turning on Vibrate on an iPhone.

Our three easy-to-follow instructions can let you set your iPhone to vibrate without any difficulty if you’re wondering how to do it.

Method 1: Using Settings

You may use the Settings app to set your iPhone to vibrate by following these steps:

Select “Settings.”
Click on “Sounds & Haptics.”
Turn on “Vibrate on Ring” and “Vibrate on Silent” at the same time by tapping both of the toggles under the “Vibrate” section.
When you get a call, your iPhone will now vibrate in both silent and ring modes.

Method 2: Using Custom Vibration Notifications

By following these instructions, you may also make personalized vibrating alerts for your iPhone:

Select “Settings.”
Select “Sounds & Haptics” and then “Sounds and Vibration Patterns” by swiping down.
A list of alerts, including Ringtone, Text Tone, New Mail, and so on, will appear; select any of those alerts.
On the subsequent screen, select “Vibration.”
To set an option as your personalized vibration notification, tap on it under the “Standard” section.

Method 3: Using Custom Vibration Patterns

Creating and utilizing custom vibration patterns is another way to put your iPhone on vibrate. These can be fast, slow, long, or everything in between. Here are the actions you need to do in order to create these patterns:

Go to Sounds & Haptics under Settings.
Select any alarm from the list under the “Sounds and Vibration Patterns” section; in this example, select “Ringtone.”
On the subsequent screen, select “Vibration” and then “Create New Vibration” from the “Custom” option.
The next screen will show a large touchpad. Use a short or long tap, or whatever else you wish, to create your own vibration pattern on it.
Once finished, press the “Stop” button.
After selecting “Save,” name your newly created vibration pattern.

To use the vibration pattern you just made, take the following actions:

Go to Sounds & Haptics under Settings.
In the “Sounds and Vibration Patterns” section, choose “Ringtone.”
Choose your recently made design under the “Custom” section by tapping “Vibration.”

You’ve just built a custom vibration pattern for your iPhone, which will now ring.

Fixing iPhone Not Vibrating

There are a few different reasons why your iPhone could not be vibrating even after you’ve enabled the settings. With our three easy-to-follow steps, you can quickly resolve this problem.
