How To Disable Vibration on Your iPhone in 2025

Sometimes, the iPhone’s vibrating features can feel a bit overkill or downright annoying, especially if vibrations are going off for every little notification or action. It’s one of those things that tech companies add for a feel-good vibe but in reality, just ends up being distracting or irritating. Whether it’s the vibration during calls, notifications, keyboard feedback, or even emergency alerts, you usually have some control over turning these off. But, of course, Apple doesn’t exactly make it super obvious how to disable everything all at once—so here’s a rundown that hopefully makes life easier without diving into a maze of settings.

How to Turn Off Vibration for Calls, Alerts, and More

Turn off Vibration for Calls and Alerts

This one’s pretty straightforward but useful if all those beeps and buzzes bug you—especially during meetings or quiet hours. When you disable vibrations here, your phone stops buzzing for incoming calls, messages, and alerts. It’s a good first step if you just want peace and quiet without completely losing notification sounds.

Here’s how to do it:

Open Settings.
Scroll and tap on Sound & Haptics.
Find the Ringtones and Alerts section, then tap Haptics.
Set the Vibration option to Never. On some iOS versions, you might see a toggle called Vibration at the top—just turn it off.
For other alert types like Ringtone, Default Alerts, or New Mail, tap each and set their Vibration setting to None.

This basically kills the vibrate feature for most normal notifications, but it doesn’t block emergency alerts or system-wide vibrations—more on that soon.

How to Disable All Vibration on iPhone

This is kinda the nuclear option. If you’re tired of even emergency alerts causing your phone to vibrate (or if you just wanna completely silence all vibrations), you need to turn off vibrations in Accessibility. It applies regardless of whether you’re using quiet mode or not.

Here’s what to do:

Open Settings.
Tap on Accessibility.
Scroll down and select Touch.
Look for Vibration and toggle it off.

It’s kinda weird, but on some setups, turning that off stops *all* vibrations, even buzz for emergency alerts. No more buzzing if you get a super crucial notification—kind of a relief, honestly, but no alerts could be missed that way.

How to Turn Off Keyboard and System Haptics

This one trips people up because sometimes you’re fine turning off vibration for calls but still get that little buzz while typing. That’s System Haptics or Keyboard Feedback doing its thing. If you want silent typing, you gotta disable this.

Steps:

Go to Settings.
Select Sound & Haptics.
Scroll down and toggle off System Haptics. This stops most system-wide vibrations that happen during interactions.
Then, tap on Keyboard Feedback.
Switch off the toggle for Haptic. Now, when you’re typing, there’s no more vibrating feedback.

Honestly, this feels like the most frictionless way to keep your phone silently typing away without those annoying buzzes.

Disabling Vibration for Specific Apps

If vibrations bother you only in specific apps—say, you love the app but hate its constant buzz—you can turn vibrations off just for that app instead of the whole device.

Here’s how to do it:

Open Settings.
Tap on Notifications.
Find the app you want to mute vibrations for, then tap it.
On the settings page for that app, toggle off Sounds. Actually, on newer iOS versions, you may need to dig into the Sound options and disable vibration-specific notifications if available.

This way, the app’s notifications could still come through silently or visually, but without that vibrating alert. Just keep in mind, not every app exposes granular control, so sometimes you might need to disable notifications entirely if vibrations are integrated into alerts.

Warning: Because Apple keeps making it less obvious, sometimes you have to poke around in different settings just to make sure all vibration points are disabled – like in system notifications or emergency alerts.

Wrap-up

Getting rid of vibrations isn’t always straightforward, but by adjusting these settings, you can make your iPhone way less intrusive. Whether it’s disabling system haptics, turning off specific app notifications, or just silencing your keyboard, there’s usually a way to do it without much fuss. Yeah, Apple could make the process more user-friendly, but hey—sometimes you gotta dig through a few menus to get what you want. At least now, you’ve got the map.

Summary

Turn off vibrations for calls and alerts in Sound & Haptics.
Disable all vibrations via Accessibility.
Turn off System Haptics and Keyboard Feedback for typing silence.
Mute vibrations for specific apps through Notifications.
Remember, emergency alerts might still vibrate unless you disable vibrations globally.
