Random vibration every hour on iPhone despite troubleshooting

I tried all the troubleshooting tips already posted. None worked. I sent a request to feedback bug issues. I saw in my notifications some type of response but i can no longer find it. Any ideas?

Make sure you do not have a Shortcut in the Shortcuts app set to vibrate hourly. This is a common "trick" on Social Media where sometimes you can download a shortcut that will make an announcement hourly, but you can also have one set to vibrate hourly too. In the Shortcuts app, you want to check under My ShortCuts. A shortcut can be created by you, anyone that has access to your device with the Passcode, shared from others, or downloaded from the internet. A shortcut is deleted by pressing and holding on the shortcut, then choose delete.

My first thought is that your understanding of the meaning of the word "random" is flawed.


If it happens every hour, it is not "random".


We have absolutely no idea what "troubleshooting tips" you are referring to.


How about you provide some actual information that could be used to help you troubleshoot...
