iPhone 15 Pro won't vibrate on Silent Mode

we don’t even know if Apple is aware of the problem the only way they will know is if people call into tech-support and reported we don’t even know if they look at these pages…

I'm having an issue when you are on silent mode vibration doesn't work on my 15 pro max I have mine set to just badge alerts on my 15PM tho my 14PM worked just fine on iOS 16.7 lol I have done everything setup as new iPhone and changed and played with every setting you can think of..... It will only work if one of the notification banners are on but on iOS 16 i didn't have to have those turned on.

I reported to tech support and they told me it was something to do with my backup (despite my 11 working fine on iOS 16 and I needed to take it into store to get rebuilt (again). As I obviously hadn’t rebuilt it right.

oh and yes hard reset didn’t work for me either. Banners are helping on some but only when the phone is unlocked.

Same here. After a few calls into Apple, they helped me figure it out. You have to have a a banner set, even though I don’t want one!

Notifications/ messages/ and then tap banners under Alerts. Then messages will vibrate in silent mode.

Apple is aware of the issue and said it will probably be fixed in the next software update.

Hello there!

You may have already been able to solve this issue, but if not then here's a link to a youtube video that fixed the problem for me!

I hope it helps!

Did you have to reset your settings first? My notifications are already on banner (all 3 actually) but I’m still not getting a vibrate on silent. Also, when you reset your settings, that’s AAAAAALLLLL of the settings, right? Like, you have to go back in & set up all of the settings for notifications (for each app), privacy settings, etc? Really sounds like a pain in the a** just to get vibrate back.

Hi all! The new update that came out Tuesday fixed this. I also went to notifications, turned off “Lock Screen, Notification Center, banners”, but left the “allow notifications” bar to be on and my phone vibrates when I get messages without anything popping up.

Try…

settings > messages > notifications > sounds > haptics … choose the haptic vibration you want

Then go back to settings > sounds & haptics > haptics and click you want to always play or play in silent mode. That should fix it

I figured it out.

my previous iphones used the left side button to toggle vibrate mode off and on. This is different from what is now being called silent mode.

in order to enter a vibrate only mode, I just needed to turn the ringer volume all the way down using the volume buttons on the left side of the phone.

if I want to stop all sounds or vibrations, I can swipe down from the top right of the screen and touch the bell to turn silent mode off or on.

Other notes:

in settings> sounds & haptics, I have ringtones & alerts change with buttons toggled to on. And haptics set to always play.

I had this same issue, but with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. After speaking to Apple Support, they suggested that I call my service provider (AT&T) to change the number of rings my line receives before it sends a call to voicemail. I got this phone literally three days ago and have been having this issue since then. I followed their suggestion and called my service provider, who ended up telling me that there was an issue between my Apple Watch (cellular & wifi) and my new phone. There was an issue between my cellular plan for my Apple Watch and my 15 pro max. So maybe this is someone else's issue too? Try seeing if your Apple Watch is the issue. Only sharing my story to see if it helps anyone.

This worked! Thank you for your knowledge! This $1700 phone is not worth the money. Can’t even connect to 5g WiFi network(no it’s not my router and yes I’ve done 15 troubleshooting steps before anyone chimes in) lol

THIS WORKED! Thank you...

I finally figured this out. Ok you have about 3 areas to check.

A. Go to settings

-Sounds & Haptics

-Change Haptics to “Always Play”

-Scroll Down to the System Sound and Haptics Title and and turn on “System Haptics”

B. Under Sound & Haptics, Go to Ringtones

-tap Haptics

-Pick a vibration

C. Under Settings go to Accessibility

-tap Touch

-Scroll down and make sure Vibration is turned on

Hi try going into accessibility then go to touch scroll down to vibrate if it’s already turned on turn it off and then turn it back on again! And then try! Worked for me I spent an hour and a half trying to figure it out now it vibrates ON silent

I have iPhone 15 Plus. Got it yesterday 12/7/23. Tried all the options in the forum. The ONLY way MESSAGES can vibrate is if u allow banners . Apple, why can’t it vibrate with all banners switched off ?

As for WhatsApp, there is no fix - it cannot vibrate at all with all the solutions in this thread. Can someone help please ?
