iOS 16 Lets You Enable Keyboard Haptics for Vibrations as You Type

[MacRumors]

Like Android, Apple will let users enable vibrations on the native stock iOS keyboard for each tap, providing a physical confirmation for users as they type.

Apple says these vibrations help serve as a "confirmation" as a user types. The new feature is part of a broader slate of changes coming to the keyboard on iOS 16, including support for 19 new languages in Emoji search and improvements to the experience for Chinese users.

iOS 16 is a massive release for the iPhone that lets users entirely customize their Lock Screen and changes across the system. Apple just wrapped up WWDC, so be sure to stick around for MacRumors for full coverage of all the new updates and announcements.

This is one feature I'll have Off

For me, this is totally unnecessary.

It just requires more battery usage, unless you really need to have the haptic feedback.

This is great, I love the subtle haptics. It’ll be a nice addition when typing.

This is 10 years too late

OMG! Thank you so much. I miss the Keyboard Haptic. I prefer it. Currently, I have Grammarly App installed and it offers the Haptic. It's very nice.

Please, bring back the Unlock Screen sound too.

Nice. Still wish the keyboard could have a number row or numbers/symbols as secondary choices on the main keyboard (instead of having to switch keyboards to type them).

Love this!

 

[smorrissey]

Can't wait for the drain.

This is FANTASTIC news, one of the features from Android I wanted but thought we’d never get.

it’s much more immersive and less missed touches.

What does it do to the battery?

 

[Saladin12]

Looking forward to this!

holy sh*t, didn't see this coming

 

[reklex]

it's better than having the sounds ON which in my opinion are annoying as hell.

specially if you have earphones on, these keyboard sounds are ear piercing.

 

[44267547]

I’m wondering if you use your phone in ‘low power mode’, will this automatically disable the haptics. Because if you think about it, this would just be another category for battery drain with the haptic feedback enabled. We’ll find out in beta.

Lol some of you are so negative!
I'd rather have way more features we can turn on/off than not have them at all. Thank you for adding this long overdue feature.

 

[mansplains]

This is amazing! I loved using this feature with jailbreak back in the day.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What does it do to the battery?

Nothing. No effect on the battery life. It just feels amazing, honestly. It's hard to explain lol

 

[kirky29]

But no number row….

All right, I'm in no hurry but I will try it when iOS 16 comes out.

 

[_Spinn_]

Very happy to try this out.

 

[mashdots]

I don't know how i feel about this. I develop on android regularly and i find the feature to be a little annoying because it relies on the short vibrations, so the vibrations don't feel immersive. it just feels like the phone is vibrating every time i tap it. On the other hand, apple has a great haptic engine so it could feel more solid. I'm interested to try it.

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

lol no thank you
That’s literally the first thing I disable whenever I wipe my Android phone

 

[lewchenko]

Christ…. Finally.
If done like some of my old Android phones (ie not too strong and in the right place) then this is a good thing. Shame on Apple for taking so long to copy it.

All right, I'm in no hurry but I will try it when iOS 16 comes out.

Try it with Grammarly app. Trust me, you are going to love it. I'm just happy Apple is bringing it.
