Ever since smartphones become all touchscreen, typing on the smartphone screen feels like not typing at all, especially during my first years using iPhone – the iPhone 3G back then. Fast forward to present time today, although I’m definitely better at typing on smartphone screen – and already becoming a habit – but I’m still longing days where phone was giving me tactile feedback when typing (E.g. by pressing down the actual button). Good thing, Apple – after about 15 years releasing the original iPhone – finally made it possible with the iOS 16. Apple introduce Haptic feedback on iPhone keyboard. Let me walk you through on how you can do the same with your iPhone.
