Also make sure you select haptics that you can notice by using the haptics menus within each sound (ringtone, message tone etc). For example for me the synchronised haptics for ringtones were too subtle, once I’d altered the haptic to ‘alert’ I could feel my phone vibrate again when on silent.

My iPhone SE will not vibrate since updating to iOS 17.2.1. Haptics is set to Always Play, System Haptics is on, and vibration is set to on in Accessibility. This is a real problem when working in quiet environments where I need to know if an email, text or call has come in. How is this being addresses and who is monitoring this ticket?

I tried this and it didn't do anything. My watch is set to silent and sometimes my phone vibrates on silent, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes both my watch and phone vibrate, others not. This has been an issue for me on my last three iPhones. I even have my wife set up as an emergency bypass contact set to vibrate and there are times she texts me and my phone doesn't vibrate. This whole thing is so frustrating and I'm not sure if I should contact Apple Support or even both with a Genius appointment.

Is this still the iphone I bought or is Apple covering up the theft that Apple is able to track on the actual iphone you purchased. I think Apple is avoiding the issue that I have found to be impossible to prove on the customer's end:

Our iPhones can be easily stolen and replaced with fakes and Apple knows it. How can a cell phone not vibrate?!?!


I want to know if I am due any money now on yalls end

i've tried literally everything nothing works. my phone wont vibrate even when i press the different vibrate options in sounds&haptics. it vibrates for nothing. i somehow got it to work and it worked for like a week then 17.4 came and again nothing. it doesnt work on silent or with ringer on. theres absolutely zero vibration/haptic coming from my phone. not even a faint one theres just nothing.
