I recently came across the Haptics setting on my iPhone and I’m not sure what it actually does. How does Haptics work, what types of feedback does it provide, and should I keep it enabled or disable it to save battery life?

I keep seeing the Haptics option on my iPhone and wondered what it actually does. After looking into it, I learned that Haptics controls the small vibrations and tactile feedback I feel when interacting with my device. For example, my iPhone may give a subtle tap when I use Face ID, long-press an app, adjust settings, or receive certain notifications.
These vibrations are designed to make actions feel more responsive and help confirm that a command has been recognized. I personally find Haptics useful because it provides feedback without needing to look at the screen.
If I want a quieter experience or slightly better battery life, I can disable Haptics by going to Settings > Sounds & Haptics. However, the battery savings are usually minimal, so I prefer keeping it enabled for the improved user experience.
