Apple Watch Vibration: How to Make it Stronger

Adjusting Haptic Feedback on Your Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch utilizes haptic feedback, gently tapping your wrist to signal incoming notifications. If you find these taps difficult to perceive, the intensity of these alerts can be readily adjusted.

We will first demonstrate how to modify the haptic feedback settings directly on your Apple Watch. Begin by pressing the digital crown to navigate to the Home screen.

Accessing Settings on Your Watch

Locate and tap the “Settings” app icon to proceed.

Within the “Settings” menu, select “Sounds & Haptics”.

Modifying Haptic Intensity

The “Sounds & Haptics” screen displays volume controls. Scroll downwards to reveal the haptic settings.

To enhance the intensity of haptic alerts, tap the control positioned to the right of the “Haptic Strength” indicator. Additionally, enabling the “Prominent Haptics” slider will introduce a distinct haptic signal before certain notifications.

With these adjustments, the haptic feedback will be maximized, and prominent haptic alerts will be delivered.

Note: As you adjust these settings, your watch will provide a sample of the modified haptic feedback.

Adjusting Haptic Feedback via iPhone

These settings can also be managed through the Watch app on your iPhone. Open the “Watch” app from your iPhone’s Home screen.

Ensure that the “My Watch” tab is selected. If not, tap the “My Watch” icon located at the bottom of the screen.

iPhone Settings Configuration

Within the “My Watch” section, tap “Sounds & Haptics”.

On the “Sounds & Haptics” screen, slide the “Haptic Strength” control fully to the right. Then, activate the “Prominent Haptic” feature by toggling the slider button.

To decrease the vibration intensity, simply move the “Haptic Strength” slider towards the middle and disable “Prominent Haptic”. This adjustment can also contribute to improved battery life.
