Along with an alert sound, Apple Watch can also producehaptic feedback when there is an incoming notification. Haptic feedback gives a feel of tap on your wrist but they are way smoother than the traditional vibration.
Haptic feedback is one of my favorite feature from Apple Watch as it gives an attention to look at the watch if you miss to hear the notification sound. But it might not be everyone’s favorite. But the great thing is you can adjust the level of haptic feedback or completely turn it off from the settings. Adjusting Haptic Feedback works on watchOS 4 and watchOS 3.
In this post, we will guide you on:
