How Do I Turn Off the Vibrating Keyboard on iPhone and iPad?

The default iOS keyboard pre-installed on Apple’s iPhones and iPads doesn’t actually have a haptic feedback feature so, if your keyboard is vibrating, it’s likely you or someone else has installed a third-party keyboard app. To remove the vibration, open the settings in the app and look for a setting like Haptic Feedback or Vibration. Then, switch it off. Sometimes, your iPhone or iPad may vibrate when you tap a website or app. This setting is separate from keyboard vibrations, and you can disable it in the iOS Settings app.
