My apple watch is not vibrating

If your Apple Watch isn’t vibrating for notifications or alerts, check these two places:

1. On Your Apple Watch

Go to Settings → Sounds & Haptics.

• Ensure Haptic Alerts is turned on.

• Tap Default or Prominent under Haptics for stronger vibrations.

• Check that Silent Mode is not enabled (look for the red bell icon in Control Center).

2. On Your iPhone

Open the Watch app → My Watch → Sounds & Haptics.

• Make sure Haptic Alerts are enabled here too.

• If “Mirror iPhone” is selected, your Watch might only vibrate when your iPhone is locked. Try switching to Custom and manually enable Haptic Alerts.

Extra Tip:

If it still doesn’t work – restart both devices, check for software updates, or unpair and re-pair your Watch as a last resort.
