Is making a phone vibrate too often dangerous for the hardware?

I am making an iOS app in swift using Xcode and I need the phone to vibrate to alert the user. Are there any dangers that I need to be aware of when working with vibrations or can I make the phone vibrate continuously / very frequently without problem?

Solution

  • A list of concerns in no particular order:

    1. Power consumption
    2. A vibrating phone can move when on a surface
    3. Users may find this annoying and disable it or uninstall your app
