My phone has started to only vibrate for phone calls nothing else. I have tried changing my haptic settings but nothing worked.

Original Title: why does my phone only vibrate for calls?
iPhone 12, iOS 26
If your iPhone only vibrates for incoming calls but not for other alerts like messages or notifications, even after changing the haptic settings, here are a few things you can try:
- **Check Silent Mode:** Make sure the side switch isn’t set to silent. If it is, your device might only vibrate for calls.
- **Notification Settings:** Go to *Settings > Notifications* and verify that each app (like Messages, WhatsApp, etc.) is allowed to show alerts with sound and vibration.
- **Focus or Do Not Disturb:** Make sure Focus modes (like Do Not Disturb or Sleep) aren’t blocking other notifications.
- **Accessibility Settings:** Go to *Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Vibration* and ensure vibration is enabled.
- **Software Bug:** If the issue started recently and settings seem correct, it could be a temporary glitch. A restart or software update might help.
If the problem continues, consider resetting all settings via *Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings*. This won’t delete your data, but it will restore all system settings to default.
