iPhone 8 vibrates once when on silent.

Just upgraded to iPhone 8 on iOS 11.0.2 and noticed my phone only vibrates once when on silent and not constantly like it used to. I’ve tried resetting and restoring fully but still only vibrates once. This is highly annoying as I keep missing calls when on silent, as my phone no longer vibrates more than once!

Hello JWAHazell,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding your iPhone 8 only vibrates once when on silent. You've done a great job trying to get this resolved so far. I'm happy to help.

You can set and create vibration patterns in Settings. Please review the steps below:

Set sound options. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics (on supported models) or Settings > Sounds (other models) for options such as ringtones and alert tones, vibration settings and patterns, and ringer and alert volumes.

Set vibration patterns. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics (on supported models) or Settings > Sounds (other models), then choose an item from the Sounds and Vibration Patterns list. To select a pattern or create your own, tap Vibration.

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Have a wonderful day!

Chris,


All vibration options were already switched on, I've already gone in to ringtone options and have gone through all vibration patterns to test them and it still only vibrates once. I have already spoken to apples customer support and have been through every possible option, including reset all and a hard reset and yet the problem still persists. On previous models and in other settings synchronised is an option, which would solve the problem, but this isn't available under ringtone>vibration.
