Flip the silent switch to red on the left side of the phone. That should do it.
Starters, it goes without saying that you should have vibrate set to ON. Second, I don't have "none" selected and my phone still will NOT vibrate when I get a text message from someone IF I've selected a text tone for them. This all the sudden started happening after I synced my phone with the newest itunes.
Under Settings, go to Sounds and switch both the vibrate on ring and vibrate on silent buttons.
Then scroll down to sounds and vibration patterns.
Select your ringtone. When chosen, there will be a box titled Vibration above all the ringtones. This may be set to None. Click on it and select Default, your phone will vibrate.
Do this for your text tone too.
I found mine were set to None when I updated it. To stop the vibrations, simply turn off the vibrate on ring and vibrate on silent buttons.
I hope this helps, if not then definitely see an Apple expert
Okay i don't Know if somebody said something about this but, I realized my text tone was the problem. I think this file might've been corrupted or something when I transferred it but the text tone i chose for my phone would not vibrate on silent nor make a sound. I figure this out when I was playing with the phone and someone texted me, it wasnt making sound nor vibrating, even with the settings to make it vibrate on silent.
Excuse my babbling but anyway, the text tone (if bought from iTunes Store) might be corrupted. To test this out switch to another text tone, have someone text you and see if that is your problem. (Have them text you both when your phone is on silent and when the volume is up)
If this is your problem just remove the corrupted text tone. You can do this by:
1. go on iTunes on your computer
2. Plug your phone in and click on it to see the info about your phone
3. Go to tones
4. Uncheck the tone that is corrupted (this should remove it from your phone)
5. Click apply and let your phone sync.
6. recheck the box of the the tone an let it reinstall into your phone.
7. Do what I said in the beginning and have someone text you to check if this works.
This should've work cuz it worked for me ^-^ good luck!
Try the do not disturb feature- it is the half moon icon, you can shut it off on your notification center
If you have do not disturb mode on try turning it of!!!
Go to sounds, text tone, none. It will work then
I was having this problem also with my iPhone 6 not vibrating for text messages but vibrating for calls, and I realized that the numbers that I do not have saved will not vibrate to where as the numbers that I do have saved will vibrate
Well, after realizing that I didn't really see a solution on this page, I took it upon myself to try and figure out the problem myself (I had the same problem). But, I went into general > accessibility. In accessibility, scroll down to vibrate and see if that is on. If it isn't, of course, turn it on. Then, in sounds, adjust the vibration and see if this works for you guys.
Ok guys
go to settings > notifications > messages > sounds > and check the vibrations settings.
It worked for me. Hope I helped you, guys.
I was so hopeful when I read your comment but there is no vibrate option showing on my screen when I check my ringtone e or text tone
vibrate for text messages?
