Your iPhone is designed to keep you connected and offers a range of alert methods for messages, calls, and notifications. The vibration function is a standout feature that discreetly notifies you by vibrating upon receiving an alert, making it particularly useful in various situations.
The vibration feature on your iPhone, known as “haptics,” serves practical purposes such as discreet notifications in inappropriate noise settings like during meetings. It also aids individuals with hearing impairments in staying connected and is useful in Silent Mode to ensure you don’t miss important calls or texts without a ringtone.
Here’s more information about the iPhone vibration feature, including how to activate it and whether you can adjust its strength, applicable to any iPhone model, including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.
