iPhone 15 Pro won't vibrate on Silent Mode

Got my new phone yesterday and have noticed that my vibration while on silent is not working. I verified under settings that I have it set to always on. I tried changing it to never the back on or just play in silent mode but it still isn’t vibrating.


any help?

The only thing that worked for me was a settings reset, which worked for about 24 hours... I have attempted to do everything in the thread and I am still without the vibrating function when the phone is in silent mode. My only hope now is that Apple is monitoring this and will develop a solution quickly. But it seems that "hope springs eternal" if some of you have called (or visited the stores) and nothing has happened.


What further baffles me is that it does not even notify you when the phone is open and you are holding it.


One thing I did try was to have it off silent mode and turn the volume as low as possible which, incidentally, it is not OFF.

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’ve definitely suffered from this for a while. I’ve finally decided to try to figure out what’s causing it and stumbled across this thread.


My hunch is that it was this setting that was the problem.


I’ve turned off the smart schedule now and (it was previously on) and I’m expecting / hoping it will improve.


It would be very helpful if iOS gave some indication of “x number of notifications were silenced automatically” or some such information to users. Then we’d know where to look to disable it.
