Another new feature in iOS 16 is haptic feedback to the iPhone keyboard. Haptic isn’t just a digital or technological feature. It gives a person the feeling of using a mechanical keyboard. Each press of an individual key is accompanied by a sound.

Along with this, you can use not only the built-in function on your iPhone or iPad. You can add haptic feedback to third-party keyboards such as Swiftkey and Gboard.
