How to change the vibration on iphone 11

By default, your iPhone uses two quick vibration pulses for a text message and a continuous steady pulse vibration for incoming calls. All other Notification Center alerts receive a single vibration. But what if you want something different so you can easily tell what kind of notification you're receiving without even looking at your iPhone? As it happens, you can do just that by creating and assigning your own vibration patterns. Here's how!

How to create and assign custom vibration patterns on iPhone

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Sounds & Haptics.
3. Tap on the alert category you'd like to set a custom vibration for. In this example, I'll use Text Tone.

1. Tap Vibration.
2. Tap Create New Vibration.
3. Tap your screen to create the vibration you want. Holding your finger down creates a continuous vibration, tapping once creates a single vibration, and lifting your finger creates a pause.

1. Tap Stop when you are done creating your pattern.
2. Tap Save if you are satisfied with your creation. You can tap on Play in order to feel it in action.
3. Enter a name for your custom vibration.
4. Tap Save.

Your new custom vibration will be saved and set for the type of alert you choose. You can repeat the above process for all the alert types you'd like to have a unique vibration pattern. Keep in mind you can create custom vibrations inside the vibration option section of any alert. Anything you've created will then show up under the Custom Vibrations section for all alert types so you can reuse them anytime you'd like.

How to disable vibration alerts on a per-app basis

2. Tap Sounds.
3. Tap on the type of alert you'd like to have no vibration In this example, I'll use Text Tone.
