Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My apple watch 3 was great for alerting me privately that I had calls or messages with an inaudible vibration.
I just received my new apple watch 4, and I only am able to receive audible taps, taps that anyone within several feet of me can hear.
This is disappointing, why would they change the vibrations that were almost totally private?
Am I doing something wrong? Are the vibrations gone? Bad move.
Watch Series 4 (GPS+Cellular) Alum 40mm, iOS 12
Change the strength of taps and vibrations
- Put on your Apple Watch and unlock it. For the best haptic results, the back of your Apple Watch needs skin contact. Use a snug, but comfortable fit.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Sounds & Haptics.
- Under Haptic Strength, tap
to decrease haptic intensity or
to increase it.
You can also adjust haptic alerts using your paired iPhone. Open the Apple Watch app, tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sounds & Haptics. Under Haptic Strength, drag the slider to adjust the intensity of haptic notifications.
If you're wearing your Apple Watch and you don't feel a tap as you adjust the slider, contact Apple Support.
I have the exact same problem and am very unhappy. I would love to be able to change the haptic strength if the option shown in the picture above actually existed. My watch and phone are up to date, so it is not a missing update issue.
Apple watch 4 audible taps?
