In this video, a former Apple tech explains what to do when your iPhone doesn’t vibrate. If your iPhone is not vibrating, the problem is almost always software related.
First, make sure Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent are turned on by going into the Settings app and tapping Sounds & Haptics. If the switch next to both of these settings is turned on (green and positioned to the right), your iPhone should be vibrating.
Also, make sure that your ringtone is set to a vibration pattern. Tap on Ringtone in Sounds & Haptics and make sure a vibration pattern is selected. Any pattern other than "None" will do.
Now we’ll test your iPhone’s vibration motor by flipping the Ring / silent switch back and forth. Does it vibrate when pull it towards the back of the screen?
If your still is not vibrating, there’s still a good possibility you’re dealing with a software issue. Reset all setting to return your iPhone settings to factory defaults. If your iPhone doesn’t vibrate after resetting all settings, try performing a DFU restore.

If your iPhone won't vibrate after performing all of these steps, you may need to get the vibration motor repaired. If your iPhone is under warranty, try taking it to your local Apple Store.
We also highly recommend CellSavers (a company that's changing its name soon), a repair service that comes to you and can fix the problem when your iPhone doesn't vibrate.
