iOS 16: How to enable Haptic Feedback on an iPhone

Dan Uff September 21, 2022 0

One of the most useful (and not well known) features of iOS 16 is the ability to have haptic feedback (have the phone vibrate) when someone uses the keyboard. This can assist new and experienced users with getting used to typing on the device's keyboard.

Here's how to enable it:

  1. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback.
  2. Toggle the switch for Haptic to the ON position.
  3. That's it.

Now you'll feel the haptic feedback when you go into virtually any app that allows typing.

How to call someone using Siri on iOS

Dan Uff September 20, 2022 0

Last week, I wrote an article about ideas on how to teach your child how to call 9-1-1 using an iPhone.  In that article, I hinted that you could use Siri to also contact someone in your contacts. Well, here's how to do it.

  1. Activate Siri.
  2. Say "Hey Siri, call Bob Smith."
  3. If that contact has more than one number, it'll ask which one to call.
  4. Siri then calls the contact.
  5. That's it!

Siri can also do a lot more.  Stay tuned to find out what else it can and cannot do.

For those of us who have been testing iOS 16 during the summer, and now that iOS 16 is officially out, you may not want to receive any new Betas that may come afterwards.  It's simple to do:

  1. Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
  2. Scroll down to Profiles.
  3. Delete the beta profile for iOS 16.
  4. Reset the iPhone.
  5. That's it. 

Now you'll get the final, public release of iOS 16.x
