The iPhone 14, like its predecessors, offers several ways to control vibration settings, allowing you to customize your notification preferences. Whether you want to silence vibrations completely, disable them only for specific alerts, or just quickly stop a current vibration, this guide will show you how.
How to Turn Off Vibrate for All Notifications
This method silences all vibrations, including those for calls, texts, and app notifications.
- Open the Settings app: Find the gray icon with gears, typically located on your home screen.
- Navigate to Sounds & Haptics: Scroll down and tap on this option.
- Turn off Vibrate on Ring & Vibrate on Silent: You'll find these toggles near the top of the screen. Toggle them to the left (off position) to disable vibrations for incoming calls and notifications even when the ringer is silenced.
How to Turn Off Vibrate for Specific Notifications
You can fine-tune your vibration settings for individual apps or contact groups. This allows you to receive vibrations for important calls and messages while silencing less crucial alerts.
- Open the Settings app: As before, locate the gray gear icon.
- Go to Notifications: Scroll down and select this option.
- Select the App: Choose the app for which you want to adjust vibration settings.
- Turn off Sounds & Haptics: Inside the app's notification settings, you'll find options to turn off both sounds and haptics (vibrations). Disable the "Haptics" option to prevent vibrations from this specific app.
This process can be repeated for each app individually, giving you precise control over which apps vibrate and which don't.
How to Stop a Currently Vibrating iPhone 14
Sometimes, you just need to quickly silence a current vibration. The easiest way is to:
- Press the Side Button: Quickly pressing and releasing the side button (power button) will silence the ringing and vibration immediately. This is a useful shortcut for quickly stopping unwanted vibrations.
What if Vibrate is Still On After Trying These Steps?
If you've followed these steps and your iPhone 14 is still vibrating, consider these troubleshooting steps:

- Restart your iPhone: A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches.
- Check for software updates: Outdated software can sometimes cause unexpected behavior. Make sure your iPhone's software is up-to-date.
