Even when your iPhone is in silent mode, incoming calls and notifications will make your phone vibrate. To avoid this, turn off "Vibrate in silent mode" or use Do Not Disturb instead. Learn how to change vibration settings, and how to use Do Not Disturb and System Haptics (the vibrations that react when you touch the iPhone 7) for a vibration-free handset.
