iPhone Not Vibrating After Update to ios 17

After updating to iOS 17 my iPhone 13 Pro Max no longer vibrates when I receive a text or other notification. Steps I've taken:

  • Verified Focus/DND is off.
  • Verified vibrate is on. Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Vibration > On.
  • Verified Haptics are on. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > System Haptics > On
  • Verified Hapitcs Play in Silent Mode. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics > Always Play
  • Verified Haptics are on for Texts. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Text Tone > Haptics > Heartbeat
  • Restarted iPhone.
  • Updated iPhone to iOS 17.02
  • Restarted iPhone
  • Reset All Settings


Nothing works. It doesn't matter if my phone is in Silent mode or not. My vibrate motor works when I test it by creating new vibrations. It also gives haptic feedback when I use my keyboard. The only time it doesn't work is when I get a text message, call, or any other alert (i.e. Snapchat message). Before updating everything worked fine.

I have the same problem. When in silent mode, when I get a text or phone call, for example, the phone has a very minor slight vibrate (lasts about 0.5 seconds) that you don't even feel if the phone is in your pocket, for example. I also don't even hear it if the phone is sitting on my desk (before, I used to). The 'old' regular vibrate was much more pronounced and you couldn't miss it. Seems like Apple goofed big time with iOS17 as everyone I talk to has the same problem with this update. I would have thought Apple would have fixed this after 2+ months and numerous updates.

I found this below but had to do another step. On the sound screen at the top hit Haptics. My update had a tiny little vibrate. I made a custom one that you just extend the length of the vibrate and save it. Now my phone notifies me with a longer vibrate. Hope this helps!
