Customize iPhone for vibration sensitivities

If you have a sensitivity or intolerance to vibrations, you can customize iPhone to suit your needs.


  • Set vibration options for specific alerts: Go to Settings  > Sounds & Haptics. See Change iPhone sounds and vibrations.
  • Turn off all vibrations: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn off Vibration.
  • Note: This setting turns off vibrations for earthquake, tsunami, and other emergency alerts.

Lawrence can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that the iPhone 6S had haptics. You could set the phone to vibrate, though.

You are correct. With a little research, I found this:


The following iPhone models include haptic feedback:

  • iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max

Sound & Haptics is in the Watch app ... the Apple help document is wrong.

I've chosen prominent.

There is no choice for Vibrate/Haptics in the Notifications setting.


I get NO notifications on the watch.

The app has notifications enabled.

And the Watch app says "Notifications WON'T appear" and when you scroll down it says "Mirror iPhone Alerts" .... HUH???????

I think what that's trying to tell you is that when you're wearing the watch (and it's unlocked), you'll get the notifications on the watch. If you're using your phone (i.e., it's unlocked), you'll get them there. That's the way it has always worked.


I don't know why you're getting no notifications at all. Do you have Do Not Disturb enabled? I believe on your watch, you would access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Look for the icon with a bell with a slash through it. If it's colored (it's red on my watch), tap it to turn it off.

The watch isn't locked.

The app isn't running on the phone.

The watch works fine ... gives notifications ... just not for the app ... I've contacted their support.

Thank much.


What you seem to be saying about Watch Notifications is that Phone notifications trump Watch notifications ... a Phone notification will show on the watch if the app isn't running on the watch. A Watch app notification will not show on the phone. (correct? If so their caption needs updating.)

This has nothing to do with apps "running." It has to do with which device is locked and which isn't.


iPhone locked/watch locked - notifications appear on iPhone

iPhone locked/watch unlocked - notifications appear on watch

iPhone unlocked/watch unlocked - notifications appear on iPhone


If there's only one app that isn't giving you notifications, the first thing I would do is delete it and reinstall it. I would delete and reinstall it from both devices, not just the watch. When you reinstall it and launch it on the phone, it should ask you for permission to send notifications. Select "Ok". Then, re-install it on the watch.
