Phone vibration test online — free vibration tester for your device

Test your phone vibration online for free. Make your phone vibrate with continuous, start/stop, or custom patterns. Works on Android phones and iPhone.

What is a phone vibration test (vibration tester)?

A phone vibration test (also called a vibration tester, vibrate test, or phone vibration checker) uses your device's built-in vibration motor to confirm it is working correctly. This online vibration tool sends vibration commands through your browser's vibration API to make your phone vibrate with different patterns — continuous vibration, start/stop bursts, or custom on/off timing. On Android phones, the vibration motor responds instantly. Note: iPhones do not allow browser-based vibration due to iOS restrictions — see our iPhone testing guide below. A phone vibration test is useful when your phone stops vibrating for calls, notifications, or haptic feedback, or when you want to test different vibration patterns for app development.

Online vibration tester — phone vibration test features

A complete browser-based phone vibration test with multiple vibration patterns, custom timing, and support for all Android devices and iPhone vibration diagnostics.

  1. Continuous vibration — make your phone vibrate non-stop: Start a continuous vibration that keeps your phone vibrating for the selected test duration. Great for checking if your vibration motor can sustain long vibration without intermittent failures or overheating.
  2. Start/Stop vibration pattern — alternating bursts: Alternates between 1 second of vibration and 1 second of pause for the duration of the test. This pattern helps detect intermittent vibration issues and is ideal for testing notification-style vibration patterns.
  3. Custom vibration pattern — set your own timing: Create a custom vibration pattern by choosing how long your phone vibrates and how long it pauses between vibrations. Perfect for developers testing haptic feedback timing or users who want specific vibration durations.
  4. Adjustable test duration — from 5 seconds to 5 minutes: Choose how long to run the phone vibration test. Options range from a quick 5-second check to a full 5-minute stress test to verify your vibration motor works reliably over extended use.
  5. iPhone vibration diagnostic guide: iPhones do not support browser-based vibration, so we provide a step-by-step guide to test iPhone vibration: long-press any app icon or check Settings → Sounds & Haptics. Works for all iPhone models including iPhone 16, 15, 14, and SE.
  6. Works on all Android phones — Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus & more: This phone vibration tester works on all Android devices including Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, and more. Open this page in Chrome and click Start to make your phone vibrate instantly.

How to test your phone vibration — step-by-step guide

A simple step-by-step process to check your phone's vibration motor using this free online vibration test tool.

  1. Make sure your phone is not on silent or Do Not Disturb: Vibration will not work if your phone is in Silent, Mute, or Do Not Disturb mode. Set your phone to Vibrate or Ring mode before starting the phone vibration test.
  2. Choose your vibration pattern and duration: Select Continuous, Start/Stop, or Custom pattern. Set how long you want the vibration test to run — from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. For Custom mode, choose your vibration duration and pause duration.
  3. Press Start and check the results: Click the Start Test button to begin the vibration. Your phone should vibrate according to the selected pattern. If your phone does not vibrate, check the troubleshooting tips below. On iPhone, follow the manual diagnostic steps provided.

Phone vibration not working? Troubleshooting tips

Common fixes if your phone vibration is not working or your vibration test shows no response.

  1. Check your phone is not silenced: The most common reason vibration does not work is that your phone is set to Silent, Mute, or Do Not Disturb. Switch to Ring or Vibrate mode and run the phone vibration test again.
  2. iPhone vibration test — browser API is not supported: Apple does not allow web apps to trigger vibration on iPhones. To test iPhone vibration: long-press any app icon on your home screen — if it vibrates, your haptic engine works. Also check Settings → Sounds & Haptics and ensure vibration is enabled. Try toggling "Vibrate on Ring" and "Vibrate on Silent" off and on again.
  3. Restart your phone: A simple restart can resolve temporary vibration motor issues caused by software glitches or memory problems. Restart your Android phone or iPhone and try the vibration test again.
  4. Update your phone's operating system: Outdated system software can cause vibration issues. Check for and install the latest Android or iOS updates, then retest your phone vibration.
  5. Check for physical damage or water exposure: If your phone has been dropped or exposed to water, the vibration motor may be physically damaged. Listen for unusual buzzing, rattling, or grinding sounds during vibration — these indicate a hardware problem requiring professional repair.
  6. Test with vibration-intensive apps: Try apps that use vibration heavily — such as games with haptic feedback, the phone dialer (long-press a number), or the alarm clock app. If vibration works in those apps but not in this online test, try a different browser like Chrome.
  7. Check accessibility settings: On Android, go to Settings → Accessibility → Vibration & haptic strength and ensure vibration is enabled and turned up. On iPhone, check Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Vibration is toggled on.
