iPhone 17 Pro haptics randomly stop working

Hello everyone!

Problem

I’m experiencing an issue with my iPhone 17 Pro. Since I bought it (running iOS 26), the haptic feedback seems to turn off randomly during the day. For example, I keep keyboard haptics enabled, but at times the phone simply stops vibrating while typing.

How to reproduce

Here's things get difficult. I haven’t been able to identify a consistent way to reproduce the issue. It happens at different times (morning, afternoon, etc.), and I haven’t found any correlation with specific modes such as Do Not Disturb or others.

Temporary fixes / observations

I also don’t have a reliable fix, but I’ve noticed a couple of things:

Toggling Low Power Mode on and off sometimes restores haptics after a short delay (not immediately).
Turning vibration off and on again in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Vibration can also bring haptics back, again after a delay.

This issue is still persistent in iOS 26.4.1.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a more reliable solution?

I have not seen any reports of this. But, I recommend report it to Apple, nonetheless.

Report this to Apple...

So, do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of you occurrences, if you don't report it to them.

Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
