Keyboard haptics not working on iPhone 16 Pro Max after iOS 18.2 update

I noticed that lately the keyboard haptics on my iPhone 16 Pro Max has stopped working out of the blue.

It seems to be shortly after upgrading to iOS 18.2 last week.

I have gone into settings and checked the keyboard feedback settings.

I've tried turning the switch off and back on, and that did not fix the issue.

As a test, I turned on the sounds which I had turned off previously and they are working without an issue.

I just restarted my phone and have tried again although I had restarted it just this past Sunday.

During the troubleshooting process I noticed that my action button which was set to switch between silent and regular mode did not give the usual vibration.

Fortunately, the restart seems to have fixed it...for now.

Has anyone else experienced this or a similar issue?

My iPhone gets automatically backed up to my computer via iMazing on a daily basis and I restart it weekly.

Every Sunday morning is when ALL of my devices including my iPhone, iPad, and iMac get restarted.

I was going by the timeframe since the update was installed, and the fact that today is Wednesday and I had just restarted it this past Sunday 12/15/24. That it had to be something with the recent update.

I will keep the tips and suggested stated above in mind.

Thanks!

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
