These vibrations serve to enhance the user experience and also offer additional information. Some of the primary uses include notifications, haptic keyboard, tactical feedback in games or gesture control, and accessibility features.

- iPhone 14
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max

How to activate the haptic feedback on the keyboard of my iPhone?
Haptic feedback for the iPhone keyboard is turned off by default. Now we will talk about how to activate it, but first we are going to see a little more in depth what it consists of. The haptic feedback of the keyboard uses the Taptic Engine to generate the sensation of “click” or vibration when we touch a letter or symbol on our keyboard. Therefore, it does not emit a sound but a vibration that only the person holding the device can notice.
To activate haptic feedback on the iPhone keyboard, follow these simple steps:
- Go to the settings from your iPhone.
- Select the option of Sounds and vibrations.
- Select the option of Keyboard response.
- Activate the option Vibration.
In addition to the option of Vibration You can also configure the option Sound. It is important to note that these two settings work differently. The sound option also works with the iPhone button that allows us to activate or deactivate the general sound of the device, which can put the iPhone in silence. This physical button and option do not have the ability to turn haptic feedback on and off and work completely independently.
How to change the speed of the haptic feedback?
If you want to further customize the experience, it is possible. Since iOS 17, you can configure the speed of the haptic response to achieve an experience that is much more tailored to our liking. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the settings on the iPhone.
- Select the option of Accessibility.
- Select the option of Haptic feedback.
- Here you will see three options: Long, Short or Default. At the bottom you will also see an image with which you can try the different types of settings to select the one you like best.
How to disable the haptic feedback of my iPhone system?
In addition to the keyboard, there are many other actions that can use haptic feedback on the system. For example, when we activate the flashlights, turn on or off the configuration switch of some setting, take a photo, set an alarm or are playing games.
If you wish to disable this feature so that you do not receive tactical responses when performing all these actions, then follow these steps:
- Go to the settings from your iPhone.
- Select the option of Sound and vibrations.
- Swipe to the bottom and deactivate the function System vibration.
