Iphone vibrates only once.

Iphone 13 pro vibrates only once on calls. When ringing, it vibrates once for a very short amount of time and never again. Doesn’t matter if its on vibrate mode or not. I have tried different ring tones and even a custom vibration pattern but nothing seems to fix this. Even normal notification vibrations are very short. I am on ios 16.1.1

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

I switched to Apple in October 2021 and I had this exact same problem on my iPhone 13 Max Pro. Apple recently was sent me a brand new iPhone 13 Max Pro due to an unrelated issue and still have this exact problem on my new device.

Hello SalmanGIKI, 

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. 


Try the following troubleshooting suggestions if your iPhone does not ring or vibrate as expected when you receive new calls. 


  1. Update your iPhone
  2. Check that this is not expected with how your Attention Aware settings are enabled. 
  3. Make sure that Do Not Disturb is disabled when you receive new calls. 
  4. Install any carrier settings for your iPhone


If the steps above do not help you reach a solution, please contact Apple Support for more help. 

Have a great day!
