Phone won't vibrate in silent mode

Thanks for reaching out smilley_gal_n_ca,

It sounds like you're having some issues with notifications using vibrate to alert you. We can help.

A great place to start is with these steps to Change iPhone sounds and vibrations:

Set sound and vibration options

1. Go to Settings  > Sounds & Haptics.

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.

It is also good to keep in mind the following:

If you’re not receiving incoming calls and alerts when you expect them, open Control Center, then check whether Do Not Disturb is on. If  is highlighted, tap it to turn off Do Not Disturb. (When Do Not Disturb is on,  also appears in the status bar.)

Hope that helps.

Take care.
