How to use this tool
- Open this page on the phone itself and hold it normally. Check that its vibration setting is enabled.
- Tap the short-pulse or two-pulse button. You can stop the request immediately.
- Record whether you felt the vibration, or skip the test when the browser does not support it.
Understanding your results
The browser can accept a vibration request without confirming that the motor physically moved. Your answer is the result. Silence, battery settings, browser restrictions or a device without a vibration motor can affect the experience.
A quick way to try the vibration motor
The short test requests a 120-millisecond pulse; the second pattern requests two pulses with a brief pause. Nothing repeats automatically, and vibration stops when you leave or hide the page. This makes it easy to compare two simple patterns without leaving the motor running. It is a motor check, not a speaker-cleaning or water-ejection method.
Why vibration may be unavailable
Browser support is limited and differs from support in native phone apps. Some Android browsers expose vibration; Safari on iPhone does not provide the Vibration API. A website cannot bypass that limitation or enable the motor by asking for an extra permission. If this test is unavailable, use the phone’s own sound and haptic settings for a separate check.
What to do if you feel nothing
Check vibration settings and try a known alert or haptic action in the phone’s own settings. Restarting the browser or trying another supported browser may help distinguish a web restriction from a device issue. If normal system vibration is also absent, ask the seller or manufacturer for guidance. This test does not measure motor strength and cannot prove that repair is needed.
