7. Create custom vibrations for contacts

Settings has a quick way to make it easy for you to ascribe custom vibrations to your contacts and get rid of that pounding Alert tone. Go into Accessibility under General Settings, scroll down to Hearing and turn on Custom Vibrations. Then head to Sounds, scroll down to Vibration Patterns and tap Vibration. There, you’ll find a number of standard options and a final option to Create New Vibration, where you can tap the screen to create a vibration pattern of your own. Tap to the beat of your favorite song or release your inner drummer.
