you can very easily do this by going to your Settings. Here's a quick guide:

1. open the Settings app.
2. select Sounds & Haptics.
3. under the Ringer and Alerts option, disable the Pulse on Ring and Pulse on Silent.

I hope that helps!

's instructions are spot on. Just wished to add that if you use the Do Not Disturb mode (the moon icon in Control Center), it will also silence vibrations for calls and notifications until you turn it off.

thanks, guys! That helped a lot! Loving this community. Why were vibrators invented?

[MiloEdgar]

curious question, but why were vibrators actually invented? Don't hold back on any details!

well, the adult toy was first patented in the late 1800s, but not as a sex toy. It was created as a medical instrument for pain relief and remedy of various ailments, including hysteria, an ailment at the time considered to affect girls.

adding onto what said, the healthcare use of vibrators, it's worth noting that Dr. Mortimer Granville introduced the electromechanical sex toy around 1880 for muscle fatigue treatments. Here's a brief timeline:

1869	dr. George Taylor's steam-powered 'manipulator' table used in treating hysteria.
1880	dr. Mortimer Granville's introduction of the electromechanical sex toy for muscle fatigue.
1902	hamilton Beach's advertisement of vibrators in women's magazines for home use.
