Apple announced on Monday that iOS 16 will allow you to turn on the haptic when typing, which means you’ll feel a slight vibration every time you press a key on your iPhone’s virtual keyboard. Apple’s Haptic – powered by the company’s Taptic Engine – is one of the best out there for mobile phones (although many Android devices have caught up), and now you’ll feel a satisfying pulse while chatting with friends or composing email.
Previously, if you wanted haptic feedback on your keyboard, one option was to go to … Google. The search company added haptic feedback to its Gboard keyboard for iPhone in 2019. I personally gave up using third-party keyboards years ago because it’s much easier to just use Apple’s standard keyboard and I haven’t tried haptic feedback keyboard connection for me. With iOS 16 I will definitely try it.
Haptic keyboard feedback is just one of many updates to iOS 16 unveiled during WWDC 2022.
