Much has been made about the iOS 16 update and the various features it has to offer to all iPhone users, such as the haptic keyboard. However, there are some features that are perhaps not as talked about as some others, among them is the direct haptic feedback tool on your native keyboard. Therefore, it is worth reviewing and explaining a little about the functions of the iPhone haptic keyboard.
