Weird random vibrations?!

just recently my iphone started doing something really odd, it started vibrating randomly. Whether when I was using it or not, it even happens when it’s locked. Every so often I get a random buzz and it’s driving me crazy. Here’s the kicker though, I went through settings and turned all non-necessary notifications (everything but call and text) off and it still kept happening. Even worse is that when I turned all vibrations off in settings it kept happening! My phone is up to date on updates also. I have an iPhone 8 plus and there doesn’t seem to be any noticeable damage excluding a couple scratches on the screen. Any ideas on what to do or what is causing this?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Hi ModernTech1,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with the random vibrations being generated by your iPhone.


It sounds like you have tried some great troubleshooting already.


Did you restart the iPhone: Restart your iPhone?


Is System Haptics switched off in Settings > Sounds & Haptics? If it's not switch that off as well and then test for a bit. Let me know what happens.


Have a fantastic day!
