Vibration stopped working in iPhone post iOS 18

I upgraded to IOS 18 and my vibration stopped. I’ll get a single “buzz” but nothing continuous or repeating. I upgraded to 18.2 to see if it was a bug in 18.1 but it’s still there with 18.2.


I’ve checked the settings to ensure it’s always on, even in silent mode, as well as accessibility settings. Hepatics work for typing. However, any alert or ring will result in a singular “buzz” initially and end there. I even made a custom vibration pattern with continuous repeating vibration staccatos, but when I play it back, it vibrates just once and ignores the rest.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
