Hi,

you can go to Settings->Sounds & Haptics


then find at the bottom, the System Haptics switch.


From there, go to Sounds And Vibration Patterns section. Here you'll see all the stock iOS app notification sounds. For example, you'll see "Text Tone", if you tap it, then see the top item, "Vibration Pattern". Tap that menu and you can select "None" as your option.


For other apps (I.e. Facebook), you can go to Settings->Notifications->Facebook, then turn off the "Sounds" item. Now you won't receive Sounds or vibrations for that app. If you still want the sounds, some apps allow you to customize the alert functions within their specific app but not all do.





There is another way to completely disable haptics/vibrations inside of General->Accessibility if you look in the interactions section toward the bottom.
