With iOS 16, haptic feedback is finally available on the iPhone keyboard

iOS 16 is set to bring haptic keyboard functionality to the iPhone keyboard, according to Apple’s iOS 16 features page. With the iPhone’s Taptic Engine, you’ll feel a slight vibration every time you press a key on the virtual keyboard.

Google’s Gboard was the only way to get feedback on your iPhone keyboard while you were typing, but the results weren’t very effective. It’s been years since I’ve used a smartphone with a touch-responsive keyboard, but iOS 16 gives me the opportunity to do so.
