Hey all. My phone suddenly stopped vibrating when receiving texts. I still see the notification for the texts on screen. I’ve gone through settings and made sure haptics were turned on in “sound and hapatics.” I’ve also gone through accessibility->touch and made sure vibration was on. The vibration on my phone still works, I feel it when I receive calls and when I toggle hapatics off and on I feel a small vibration. Any ideas?
Re: My phone suddenly stopped vibrating when receiving texts.
You might want to check Settings > Notifications >
eg: you can check your alert styles or alert settings for Messages app are correctly set
Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Check if haptic feedback is set to off or on ... go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
NB: Check if "System Haptics" is off or on.
(When System Haptics is off, you won’t hear or feel vibrations for incoming calls and alerts.)
