How to Turn on Haptic Keyboard Feedback on iPhone in iOS 16

As part of keyboard updates in iOS 16, a feature that has finally arrived is haptic feedback, long available on Android and also Google’s Gboard keyboard for iOS (since 2019).

How to enable haptic keyboard feedback on your iPhone in iOS 16? All you have to do is enable a toggle in settings—here’s how to do it (check out our screenshot above as well):

1. Go to Settings > Sound & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback

2. Tap on the toggle for ‘Haptic’

Now, according to Apple, you can “feel confirmation when you type.” The haptic feedback is very subtle and just enough to feel some feedback as you type.
