How to turn on vibration for calls and alerts in silent mode

To ensure that you’re notified about calls and alerts in Silent mode via vibration, you will need to turn on haptics when your iPhone is set in silent mode.

Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Inside Settings, select Sounds & Haptics.
On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom to locate the “Ring/Silent Mode Switch” section. In this section, you can turn on the Play Haptics in Silent Mode toggle to enable vibrations when your device is in Silent Mode.

Your iPhone will now vibrate every time you get a call or an alert on your iPhone even when it’s set to silent mode.

How to turn on keyboard vibration in silent mode

By default, your iPhone will make a click sound when you type using the native Apple keyboard. This sound, however, will only be audible when your device is in ring mode. When set to silent mode, you won’t hear the click sound, even if it’s enabled inside iOS settings. To get some kind of feedback when typing in silent mode, you can enable keyboard vibration so that you know when a key was registered and when it didn’t.

To enable keyboard vibration on silent mode, open the Settings app on the iPhone.
Inside Settings, select Sounds & Haptics.
On the next screen, tap on Keyboard feedback.
In the Keyboard Feedback screen, turn on the Haptic toggle on this screen.
