When you put iPhone in silent mode, you won’t hear ringtones or other tones. While this is quite useful if you don’t want to be disturbed at all, I prefer to have the phone vibrate on silent mode. This helps to know about incoming calls or alerts without disturbing anyone. If you also want your iPhone to vibrate on silent mode, then you are in the right place.
See how to make iPhone vibrate or play haptics in silent mode on iOS 16 and earlier. You’ll also learn how to turn off vibration in silent mode and how to fix it if your iPhone won’t vibrate in silent mode.
How to make iPhone vibrate in silent mode on iOS 16
In iOS 16, Apple has slightly improved the vibration setting. First, it renamed Vibrate on Silence to Play haptics on silent. And second, instead of being present at the top in the Sound settings, you’ll now find it at the bottom. So, in case you were thinking that the Vibrate on Silent feature was removed in iOS 16, it’s not.
Let’s see the steps to make iPhone vibrate in silent mode on iOS 16:
Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone.
Step 2: Go to ‘Sounds & Haptics’.
Step 3: Scroll down to Toggle Ring/Silent mode and toggle on the toggle for ‘Play Haptics in silent mode’.
Now, your iPhone will vibrate in silent mode. If you want your iPhone to vibrate when it rings or in normal mode, turn on the switch next to ‘Play Haptics in Ring Mode’.
Tip: In iOS 16, you can make your iPhone’s keyboard vibrate by going to Settings > Sound & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback. Now, enable the toggle next to Haptic.
How to make iPhone vibrate in silent mode on iOS 15
To enable silent vibration on your iPhone running iOS 15, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Settings on your phone.
Step 2: Tap on ‘Sounds & Haptics’.
Step 3: Enable the toggle next to ‘Vibrate on silent’.
How to stop iPhone from vibrating in silent mode

How to fix iPhone not vibrate when silent
If silent vibration doesn’t work on your iPhone after enabling the above setting, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Enable Vibrate in Accessibility Settings
There is a dedicated global vibration setting in your iPhone’s accessibility settings. If it is disabled, all types of vibration will not work on your iPhone including ‘Vibrate on silent’ even if it is enabled.
To make sure that the vibration setting is turned on, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open iPhone Settings and go to Accessibility.
Step 2: Tap Tap.
Step 3: Scroll down and turn on the switch next to Vibrate.

2. Activate vibration mode for each alarm type
On iPhone, you can customize the vibration mode and choose a different vibration pattern for each alert type. That means alerts like ringtones, message tones, messages, etc. can all have different vibration patterns. However, in the vibration settings of each alert, there is a None option. If checked, that particular alert will not vibrate. So, if your iPhone doesn’t vibrate in silent mode, it’s likely that you didn’t select a vibration pattern in the alert settings.
Follow these steps to select a vibration pattern for different alerts:
Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone.
Step 2: Go to ‘Sounds & Haptics’.
Step 3: Tap Ringtone, then Vibrate.
Step 4: Now make sure that None option is unchecked. If it says None, tap Sync (Default) or choose some other template from the list.
Tip: You can even create and use a custom vibration mode.
Step 5: Similarly, check other alert types like text tones, voicemails, etc and make sure some vibration patterns are selected.
