I’ve been experiencing an issue where my iPhone only vibrates once when I get a notification, regardless of the app or the type of alert. It’s quite frustrating because I often miss important messages and calls as the single vibration is not enough to catch my attention, especially if I’m in another room or if my phone is in my pocket. I haven’t made any recent changes to my settings or installed any new apps that might cause this. I’m looking for some insights into why this might be happening and what could be causing this behavior on my iPhone.

A software bug may cause your iPhone to vibrate only once. Restarting the device often resolves this. Hold down the side button and a volume button until you see the power off slider. Slide to power off, then hold the side button again to restart. It’s also a good idea to update your iOS to the latest version as updates can fix bugs.

Check for installed configuration profiles that might override settings:

Go to Settings > General > Profiles.
Remove any unneeded profiles.

Visit an Apple Store or authorized repair center if settings tweaks don’t help. Your iPhone’s Taptic Engine might have a hardware issue. They can run diagnostics to determine any faults with the vibration motor.

Check your notification settings for each app. Here’s how:

Open Settings.
Tap Notifications.
Choose the app causing the issue.
Ensure Allow Notifications is enabled.
Select Banners or Alerts under Alert Style When Unlocked.
Confirm that Sounds and Vibration options are correctly set.

Disable Do Not Disturb or Focus modes, which might cause this issue. Swipe down from the screen’s top-right corner to open Control Center, then see if the moon icon (or Focus icon) is active. Turn it off if it’s enabled.

Creating a custom vibration pattern might solve your problem:

Open Settings.
Select Sounds & Haptics.
Choose Ringtone or Text Tone.
Tap Vibration.
Create a new vibration pattern that ensures multiple vibrations.

If the simpler solutions don’t fix the issue, reset your device to factory settings. Remember to back up your data first:

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Follow prompts to reset and then restore your backup.

Try third-party apps like “MyNotifications” for advanced notification management. These can offer more customization than the built-in iOS settings, potentially resolving single vibration issues.

Try resetting your settings to default. Open Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This doesn’t erase your data but resets system settings, which might fix your vibration issue.
