How to Remove Vibrate on an iPhone

Turn off vibration for calls, alerts, and system feedback so your iPhone stays completely still and silent.

  1. Open Settings and go to Sounds & Haptics

    Tap the Settings app, then tap Sounds & Haptics. This screen controls both ringtone vibration and the small haptic taps the system makes.

  2. Set Haptics to Don't Play

    Tap Haptics (on older iOS versions this is a set of vibration toggles) and choose Don't Play so the phone never vibrates for rings or alerts, even in silent mode.

  3. Turn off System Haptics

    Back on the Sounds & Haptics screen, scroll down and switch off System Haptics to stop feedback taps for controls, switches, and interactions. Turn off Keyboard Feedback's Haptic option there as well if typing buzzes.

  4. Remove vibration from an alarm or specific alert

    If only one thing buzzes, edit it directly: in Clock, tap the alarm, tap Sound, then Haptics, and choose None. Individual ringtones and text tones have the same Haptics option under Settings, Sounds & Haptics.

  5. Test with a call or timer

    Flip the phone to silent and have someone call you, or set a short timer, to confirm nothing vibrates. If it still buzzes, check Accessibility, Touch, Vibration — turning that master switch off disables all vibration, including emergency alerts.
