iPhone vibrating by itself: causes and fixes

An iPhone vibrating by itself is usually caused by a silent notification or the silent switch changing position by itself. If the settings are fine and the vibration continues, the vibration motor (Taptic Engine) or the switch should be checked, especially after a drop or liquid.

Cep Market Repair TeamIn Kadıköy since 2006
Key points
  • The most common cause is a silent app notification.
  • If the silent switch changes by itself, the iPhone vibrates each time.
  • Check the vibration settings in Sounds & Haptics.
  • “Reset All Settings” resets settings without deleting data.
  • If it continues after a drop or liquid, the switch or vibration motor should be checked.

01Step-by-step checks

  1. Check notifications. Look at the lock screen notifications right after it vibrates.
  2. Sounds & Haptics. Check vibration in silent and ring mode and System Haptics.
  3. Silent switch. Watch whether the switch changes position by itself.
  4. Update. If iOS is not up to date, update it.
  5. Reset All Settings. Settings › General › Transfer or Reset › Reset › Reset All Settings does not delete data.

Menu names vary by iOS version.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
