Along with a mute switch and silent modes, the iPhone has settings that allow you to completely disable system vibration. These settings are very useful if we need to save battery, or simply if we don’t like our iPhone vibrating when we receive calls and notifications. So in this post we will see how to disable this feature.
No need to use a physical switch
To activate the silent mode of the iPhone, it is necessary to go through the side button. This little lever mutes the sound of calls and notifications, so just vibrate. But vibration and sound on the iPhone don’t have to be related. And thanks to the settings, we can change this function.
In addition, the iPhone’s vibration is in two different sections, which must be deactivated separately. On the one hand, we have keyboard vibration. When we type, we can receive a tactile response by pressing each key. On the other hand, we have what we have already discussed before: calls and notifications. By disabling these two, the iPhone will not vibrate.
to Disable keyboard vibration We must go to Settings> Sounds and vibrations. Here we will have to look for an option called Keyboard response. If we open this category, two options will appear: Sound and Vibrate. To deactivate keyboard vibration, simply deactivate the vibration option.
Now it’s time to go to Disable system vibration in general. To do this, in the same section Settings> Sounds and vibrations we have to look for a section called Vibration in silent and sound modes. Here we will find two options: vibrate in sound mode and vibrate in silent mode. The good thing is that we can only deactivate the one we want.
On the other hand, we can make the iPhone vibrate at all times. But we can also make it vibrate only in sound mode, or it only vibrates when it’s silent. In this case, if we deactivate both options, the iPhone will not vibrate when they call us or when we receive messages and other notifications.
Why stopping vibration can be good
Although it may seem counterintuitive, sometimes turning off the vibration is a good idea. A good example of this is when we have an iPhone with less battery life. When the battery level is low, The vibration of the iPhone’s haptic motors consumes power. And even if it is not excessive, deactivating these vibrations will help us to make the battery last a little longer.
Regarding the battery, it is also a good idea when we have a very low percentage of battery remaining. While there has always been a belief that putting the phone on shake will save battery, the truth is that the opposite is true. The iPhone will consume more energy vibrating the motors than it does emitting sound through the speakers. And if we consider that, thanks to the side button, we can put the iPhone into silent mode, and that we can deactivate vibration only in this mode, we will provide a few steps to make the iPhone stop vibrating.
