iPhones have a Taptic Engine that provides haptic feedback when the display registers your finger’s touch. It’s a way for your device to let you know you’re making contact with the touchscreen. The native iOS keyboard uses the same Taptic Engine to register feedback whenever you hit a key or swipe on the keyboard. 

If your iPhone doesn’t vibrate when you type on it, the following post will help you enable haptic feedback for the keyboard on your iPhone.

You can leave the Sound toggle enabled if you want audio feedback when you type on the keyboard. If not, you can disable this toggle to only get Haptic feedback from your keyboard instead. Haptic feedback will now be enabled on your iPhone. Whenever you interact with your keyboard now, you’ll experience vibrations when you tap a key or make swipe gestures on it.
