Even when your iPhone is in silent mode, incoming calls and notifications still make the device vibrate. To prevent vibration, disable the " Vibrate on Silent " feature or use the " Do Not Disturb " mode. Learn how to change the vibration settings, use the “Do Not Disturb” mode, and disable the “System Haptics” feature (vibration generated by touch on the screen in iPhone 7) to keep your device from vibrating at all.
