If your iPhone vibration is not working on iOS 27 beta, you’re not alone. Some beta testers have reported that haptic feedback stopped working after installing the latest developer beta, even though all vibration settings remain enabled. The issue can affect notifications, incoming calls, messages, and other system alerts.
Since iOS 27 is still in beta, bugs like this are expected. While Apple will likely address the problem in a future beta update, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to restore vibration on your iPhone before waiting for the next release.
Check Your iPhone Vibration Settings
The first thing to verify is that vibration has not been disabled.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Sounds & Haptics.
- Make sure Haptics is set to Always Play or your preferred option.
- Test whether your iPhone vibrates when receiving a notification.
If you also use Focus modes, make sure they are not silencing notifications or changing haptic behavior.
Restart Your iPhone
A simple restart can resolve temporary glitches introduced by beta software.
- Turn your iPhone off.
- Wait about 30 seconds.
- Turn it back on.
- Test vibration again.
Although some beta testers have reported that a restart did not fix the problem, it is still one of the quickest troubleshooting steps to try because it can resolve temporary software glitches introduced during the beta.
Check Whether a Focus Mode Is Active
Some beta testers have noticed Focus automations behaving unexpectedly in iOS 27 beta. If a Focus mode remains enabled when it should have turned off, notifications and haptics may not work as expected.
Open Settings > Focus and verify that no Focus mode is currently active unless you intended it to be.
Test the Taptic Engine
If vibration does not work anywhere on the system, it is worth checking whether the Taptic Engine is functioning correctly.
You can visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider if you suspect a hardware issue. If vibration stopped immediately after installing iOS 27 beta, however, the problem is more likely to be software related.
Update to the Latest iOS 27 Beta
Apple frequently fixes bugs between beta releases. If a newer iOS 27 beta is available, updating may resolve the issue without any additional troubleshooting.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install the latest beta if one is available.
Wait for an iOS 27 Beta Update
If your iPhone vibration is still not working on iOS 27 beta, the problem is most likely a software bug rather than a hardware failure. Multiple beta testers have reported experiencing the same issue after updating, which suggests it is affecting more than a single device.
In the meantime, submit a report using Apple’s Feedback app so Apple can investigate the issue. Keep checking Settings > General > Software Update for newer iOS 27 beta releases, as bug fixes are typically rolled out throughout the beta testing cycle.
