If you need to remove the vibration effect that accompanies incoming calls and messages on your iPhone, then this is very easy to implement. To do this, you just need to take a few simple steps.
The so-called vibration alert is not convenient for all users. For example, if the communicator is lying on a hard surface, then when the vibration effect is triggered, it makes loud, nerve-wracking sounds. Apple engineers have included in their gadgets the ability to turn off the vibration alert.

How to turn off vibration on iPhone for incoming calls, notifications and messages
1. First of all, go to Device Settings;
2. Then select the menu item “Sounds, tactile signals”;
3. In the “Vibration” section there will be toggle switches (“During a call” and “In silent mode”), which should be turned to the “off” position.
4. Immediately after this, the vibration alert will be disabled. In this case, it does not matter at all what mode the smartphone is in at this moment - normal or silent.

How to change vibration level using built-in tools
We will consider this method using the example of the Xiaomi Mi5 smartphone, so don’t be surprised if you don’t have some items or even this function.
- Go to “Settings”, find the “Personalization” section and click on the “Sound and vibration” item.
- In the “Vibration” section, you need to click on “Vibration response” and in the menu that opens, select one of the provided options (None, Weak, Medium and Strong). The settings changes will be automatically saved and the vibration level will be set to the one you selected.
Customize Vibrancy: control vibration modes and intensity
To enhance vibration, there is software that can be found freely available on the Play Store. Such applications include, for example, Customize Vibrancy.
On the play market the application looks like this:
You can download Customize Vibrancy from the Play Store
The description of the program is quite promising. According to it, you can configure not only vibration for calls and notifications, but also adjust its intensity, rhythm (for example, make the phone vibrate to the rhythm of the Imperial March or Smoke on the Water), as well as vibration alerts when connecting/disconnecting the Internet and many useful options for calls. In particular, you can connect a vibration signal to connect with a subscriber - then you don’t have to listen to beeps, but calmly hold the phone in your hand, going about your business, until it vibrates. Or you can, for example, set vibration for every minute of a call after a certain duration of the conversation.
Customize Vibrancy app interface
The program looks simple - one window, which lists possible settings: enable/disable vibration for an incoming call, for picking up the handset, for ending a call, for SMS and others. With a long press you can go to the vibration selection menu.

The plus sign in the upper right corner is another specific feature of the application. It allows you to record your own “melody” of vibration by clicking on the screen, even translating Morse code - you can enter a word or phrase into a line, and the program will encrypt it into short and long signals. In the settings you can change the length of the time unit, which is equal to a point in Morse code.
The Customize Vibration functionality is undoubtedly interesting. But there is an unpleasant moment: on Android 5.1, for example, the program not only does not work, but the user is thrown to the desktop the first time they try to change the vibration for incoming calls. Judging by user reviews, many people encounter this problem. The application may work better for other versions of the operating system.
Setting the vibration signal strength
With the advent of Android 9, smartphones have gained more advanced vibration mode settings. For example, system settings now allow you to change the strength of the vibration signal. If your gadget does not have this option, then special applications will allow you to increase or decrease the vibration intensity.
How to turn off vibration (haptic feedback) on iPhone when you tap the screen
By default, when interacting with the system (turning on / off parameters in Settings, etc.) on the latest iPhone models, vibration also appears, which can be turned off by going to Settings → Sounds, haptics → System haptics.

Types of vibration
On iPhone there is a chance to change the vibration mode. For example, choose whether it will increase toward the end of the signal or vibrate at a certain frequency. For this you will need:
- Open “Settings”, then “Sounds” or “Sounds, haptic contacts”.
- go to the “Sounds and vibration patterns” section and select, for example, “Ringtone” if you need to change the vibration mode when making a call;
- select the best option from the list of proposed ones. Playback is automatic.

How to remove (turn off) vibration on iPhone for a certain time
iOS has a wonderful Do Not Disturb option that allows you to force or automatically turn off sound and vibration for incoming calls and notifications on your iPhone. We described in detail how to set up and use the Do Not Disturb function on iPhone in this material.

What to do if vibration does not work at all or suddenly disappears
Yes, this happens too. If, for example, the phone stops vibrating at all during incoming calls (which may be completely inappropriate when waiting for an important call, for example), the first thing to do is check and double-check the audio profile settings. It may happen that you accidentally switched to the mode without vibration - then there is no problem as such.
If everything is fine with audio profiles, the reason may lie either in the equipment itself or in application problems. In the first case, it is optimal to immediately take the phone to a service center, but some users offer a slightly “barbaric” method, which, nevertheless, works for many. If the vibration disappears due to the vibration motor coming loose, you can try to dial your number from another phone and lightly tap the phone on your palm during the call - there is a chance that this will help put the motor back in place. If it doesn’t help or suspicions fall on firmware problems, it’s better not to risk it and still take the phone to a technician.
So, if you have a problem or question related to the vibration settings of your Android device, you are already familiar with most of the methods. The main thing is to know where exactly to configure certain parameters, and to be as careful as possible in the engineering menu and not accidentally “increase” too much.
Feature not enabled
Check if vibration feedback is enabled in your keyboard settings. As for the vibration response for notifications (messages, calls), their parameters are located in “Settings -> Sound and vibration”. It is possible that vibration of the device as a whole is turned off. You can check this not only through the settings, but also through the notification panel. We swipe from top to bottom, lowering the “curtain” of the panel. It has quick access to vibration settings, where you can also see whether vibration is turned on or not.
Energy saving mode enabled
Vibration eats up a lot of energy, so the energy-saving mode disables the vibration response function. If you want to return vibration, turn off the power saving mode or configure it so that it does not turn off the keyboard vibration.
The keyboard does not support vibration feedback
If you are using a third-party keyboard from the Google Play Market, then perhaps the developers did not provide for it to interact with the vibration motor of your mobile device. The problem can only be solved by installing another keyboard.
Random bug
It is also possible that the system has somehow become “dull.” Program code is not perfect, so this could very well happen. Rebooting the device should help.
Vibration motor is faulty
If none of the above helps, then there may be a hardware problem. Vibration feedback will not work if the mobile device's vibration motor is physically damaged. Take the device to a service center to have it replaced.
Why is there no sound when I receive an incoming call on my iPhone, but only vibration?
The answer is simple: there is a switch on the iPhone smartphone that puts the device into silent (silent) mode. It is with its help that you can turn on and off the voice acting of incoming calls, messages and notifications.
This switch only affects the operation of the iPhone speaker and does not affect vibration in any way.

Xiaomi: all the tricks to adjust vibration in MIUI
The vibration motor of our mobile phone allows us to get more alerts when something important happens on our mobile phone. However, it is useful for much more, as it is also a guide for tap confirmation, including when using the keyboard. That's why we wanted to take a look at all the tricks you can do with the vibration setting on Xiaomi phones running MIUI.
Vibrate for call notification
Allows you to set the device to vibrate when there is an incoming call, even with sound . It can be activated in Settings/Sound/Vibration also during calls.
Vibration when touching the screen
Along the same path we find an option that many users consider fundamental, since it is a kind of confirmation that we played correctly . The screen may vibrate when you tap the navigation bar, take a screenshot, or touch the keyboard.
Vibration settings in GBoard and vibration
They are Google Keyboard options for controlling vibration . They can be activated in Settings / System / Language & text input / Virtual keyboard / Gboard. Once inside, we will have two options in this regard: a sound when a key is pressed and a tactile response when a key is pressed. Both can be activated, deactivated or combined at your discretion.
How to get rid of the vibrating signal when typing on Xiaomi
When entering SMS, the device notifies you when you click on the letters. The function will be especially annoying when communicating in managers, when every second messages are accompanied by an unpleasant rattling sound. It's easy to get rid of. Depending on the type of keyboard, the order of manipulations will be slightly different.
1. If you have a regular keyboard.
Settings→Advanced→Language and input→Select a default key set.
2. GBoard.
Settings→ switch the slider in the opposite direction in the line about the silent option.
3. SwiftKey.
Enter → “Sound and vibration” → deactivate the switch.
System vibration
To make the phone vibrate or remain silent when receiving calls or notifications, we will need to press the volume button. On the right side we will see a slider and we will have to touch it until we see the vibration icon.
Another trick to activate vibration is to go to Settings/System/Gestures/Sounds and select the vibration option. Now, when we press the power button and the volume up button at the same time, the terminal will automatically activate vibration.
Emergency vibration signals - is it worth removing?
Removing the emergency vibration function on iPhones is not difficult:
- In the “Settings” system, select the “General” line.
- In the window that opens, click on the “Universal Access” section.
- Make changes to the activity of the “Vibration” subsection.
IMPORTANT! By refusing such signals, you need to understand that you risk not being notified in a timely manner about tsunamis, earthquakes, or not hearing other government alerts, because the vibration on your gadget does not work.
Do it yourself
The iPhone manual also allows you to set not only a variety of ringtones, but even create a unique vibration rhythm. Thanks to this, even without looking at the screen, you can understand who is calling, where the message, email or notification from social networks came from. And it’s convenient, without annoying those around you with all kinds of ringtones, to get the information you need. And the owner of the smartphone himself is constantly distracted by the barrage of incoming messages, and the tone of the signal will already make it clear whether the notification requires your attention right now, or will calmly wait until the break.
In order to create a non-trivial “vibrating composition”, you do not need any additional programs or devices - everything is done directly in the smartphone menu only with the help of your fingers. And every user, even not the most advanced one, will be able to independently create any vibration alert rhythm, which can then be set either to a group of people (employees, for example, or a family), or to a specific subscriber.
So, you need to go to the ringtone menu, go to the Vibration tab, then go to the sub-item Create vibration, and press start.
When the recording starts, you just need to rhythmically touch the screen - in time with the desired tone, quickly or continuously, alternating signals with pauses. It could be a well-known beat, a Morse code, a sports fan chant, or anything! Finally, give free rein to your imagination.
You can stop recording at any time by pressing stop. It is clear that it is unlikely that anything good will come out the first time, but a couple of minutes of training is enough to create a pretty decent “drawing”. Sometimes the compositions turn out to be very entertaining. Real rappers and music lovers will appreciate this resource – it’s a fascinating thing, it’s simply impossible to stop!
Listen to the resulting track, and if you are satisfied with it, name it and tap on “Save”. It will be stored in the “Vibration” subsection (ringtone menu), in the list – Custom. If you don’t like the bit, just click on “Start” again to record a new version.
We recommend creating short vibration tracks for messages - literally for a couple of seconds, and for calls you can “tap” a longer motive. The average recording duration is about 10 seconds, but it is clear that you can enable signal repetition.
After this, you can easily install original vibration signals on the desired subscribers. And you will never miss an important call again, even if it is not always convenient to answer it immediately.
