Google recently added haptic feedback to its iOS keyboard. Version 1.40 of Google\u2019s Gboard, spotted by 9to5Google, includes an option to turn haptic feedback on for recent iPhones dating back to the iPhone 7. It\u2019s a subtle vibration for each key press, and it\u2019s something that Apple doesn\u2019t offer with its own built-in iOS keyboard.<\/p>\n
Most third-party keyboards also don\u2019t offer haptic feedback for key presses, and the ones that do often cost money. Every letter press, symbol, and number provides a tiny vibration in Google\u2019s Gboard update, and it feels good if you\u2019re used to typing on physical keyboards every day. You\u2019ll need to try it out for a few hours to see if it\u2019s annoying or useful, though.<\/p>\n
Google hasn\u2019t enabled this feature by default, so you\u2019ll need to head into the Gboard app itself to \u201cenable haptic feedback on key press.\u201d Google\u2019s latest Gboard update also includes additional language support for Mongolian and Lao, and some optimization to reduce the overall app size. You can download Gboard from Apple\u2019s App Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
