I’m wanting my phone to vibrate for all notifications, such as texts and other app notifications, but ring when receiving phone calls. The only settings I see are for texts and mail but other apps like Facebook/Snapchat/3rd party email apps still make sounds for notifications. I only want phone calls to make sounds
Hi Dave0871,
The sound options can vary app, also by whether it's an Apple app or a third-party app. Here's what we can offer.
Change iPhone sounds and vibrations
In Settings, change the sounds iPhone plays when you get a call, text, voicemail, email, reminder, or other type of notification.
On supported models, you feel a tap—called haptic feedback—after you perform some actions, such as when you touch and hold the Camera icon on the Home Screen.
Set sound and vibration options
1. Go to Settings
2. To set the volume for all sounds, drag the slider below Ringtone and Alert Volume.
3. To set the tones and vibration patterns for sounds, tap a sound type, such as ringtone or text tone.
4. Do any of the following:
• Choose a tone (scroll to see them all).
Ringtones play for incoming calls, clock alarms, and the clock timer; text tones are used for text messages, new voicemail, and other alerts.
• Tap Vibration, then choose a vibration pattern, or tap Create New Vibration to create your own.
You can also change the sounds iPhone plays for certain people. Go to Contacts, tap a person’s name, tap Edit, then choose a ringtone and text tone.

For other apps, go to Settings > Notifications > (Name of the app).
If Sounds are available, you can enable or turn off.

If you're still receiving sounds for a particular app, you'll want to check with the app developer to see if they have different settings within their app.
