Create your own vibration pattern on iPhone

As of iOS 5, you can create your own vibration pattern on your iPhone. We'll show you how it's done.

Create vibration patterns on the iPhone yourself

With the personal vibration patterns, you can assign a separate vibration to each notification. The vibrations can be personalized, from the ringtone to the SMS tone and Facebook notification. If you still have iOS 5 installed, you must first activate the function in the settings under "General" and "Accessibility".

1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Select the "Tones" menu item there.
3. If you scroll down a bit, you will find the various categories that you can configure under "Tones and vibration patterns". Now select a category, for example "Ringtone".
4. At the top you can now press "Vibration".
5. Below you will find the option "Create new vibration" under "Own".
6. You can now record a ten-second vibration sequence here. When you press the screen, a vibration is recorded. Now hold down your finger on the display for longer or take short breaks by not touching the display anymore (see picture).
7. If you are satisfied with the vibration pattern, press "Save" in the top right corner, give the vibration a name and press "Save" again.
8. The vibration is now automatically activated for the selected category. You can then select these for other categories.
