A haptic keyboard is a keyboard that provides tactile feedback to the user on mobile devices. This type of keyboard is becoming increasingly popular as people are looking for alternative ways to input text. One issue that can arise with haptic keyboards is that the touch feedback may not work correctly on iOS mobile phones.
If you are experiencing the haptics issue, there are a few things you can try to fix it. In this blog post, we will go over how to fix haptic keyboard feedback response not working on an iPhone with iOS 16.
What is Haptic Feedback?

When you press a button on your iPhone’s on-screen keyboard, you expect to feel a little vibration response letting you know that your input was registered.
This haptic feedback is generated by a small motor inside the phone that creates a tiny vibration when activated. iPhone users have come to rely on this haptic feedback to provide tactile confirmation of their inputs, but some users are reporting that their iPhones are no longer providing this input touch feedback.
