Hey everyone,

I always keep my phone on silent, but I would like it to vibrate when I get a call. Is there a way to set this up? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Joel,
To set your phone to vibrate in silent mode:

For iPhones: Open Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Enable Vibrate on Silent.

For Android:

  1. Use volume buttons to mute.
  2. Adjust settings in Sound & Vibration or Sounds menu to enable vibrate in silent mode.

Ensure settings are adjusted to ensure your phone vibrates in silent mode.

Hi Joel, To enable vibration on silent mode, follow these steps based on your phone’s operating system:

Android:

Quick Access: Use the physical switch on the side of most Android phones to toggle to “Vibrate” mode.

Settings Menu:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go to Sounds & Vibration (or similar).
  3. Enable options like Vibrate on Ring or Vibrate in Silent Mode. Adjust vibration intensity or patterns if available.

iPhone:

Control Center:

  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner (iPhone X and later) or up from the bottom (iPhone 8 Plus and earlier).
  2. Tap the bell icon with diagonal lines to activate silent mode. Ensure vibration is enabled in settings if there’s no vibration indicator.

Settings Menu:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go to Sounds & Haptics.
