Haptic Feedback

Using this action, you can vibrate the user's device. Typically this is used to draw users' attention to the action they have performed. For example, vibrating the user's device on setting the alarm.

Types of Haptic Feedback​

Depending on the action a user has performed (e.g., bookmark an item, on-off flashlight), you can set the different vibration intensity and duration types.

Here are the types of haptic feedback:

  1. Light: This creates a very low-intensity vibration similar to pressing a virtual on-screen key.
  2. Medium: This creates a medium-intensity vibration similar to pressing a key on a keyboard.
  3. Heavy: This creates a high-intensity vibration similar to clicking an item.
  4. Selection Click: This vibrates the device when selection changes through discrete values. Similar to changing hours and minutes on the clock app.
  5. Vibrate: This creates a vibration for a short duration.
warning
  • The Light, Medium, Heavy, and Selection Click, these types of haptic feedback only work on iOS version 10 and above.
