it is not the keyboard clicks


the feedback sound during long press supposedly belongs to "System Haptics" below "Keyboard Clicks" & "Lock Sound", I believe for iPhone with 3D touch, does not have that on/off option for "System Haptics"


For long press, it gives two kinds of feedbacks

  1. Vibration Feedback, can turn on/off in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Vibration (toggle)
  2. Sound Feedback, supposedly can turn on/off in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > System Haptics (but the issue here is, toggle on/off on this still always gives sound feedback during long press)

I am glad I found this post. I just spent 20 minutes trying to understand why this started happening after ios14. Yes it is an audible click from the speakers, it does not respond to shutting off keyboard clicks or any of the usual things. The only way to shut it off is to put the phone on silent mode. The problem is that the clicks are LOUD. They do not respond to holding down the volume button either. This is separate from system haptics (which are vibrations).


Previously, long press on a link would result only in a haptic response—not a loud audible click from the speakers. Bug obviously.

I thought I had it off but no it’s still going. Keyboard off, Haptics off, vibrate off, silent mode on or off it still clicks. Super annoying. Im still on 13.5, I didnt update to 14 because I read there’s battery drainage. This started happening a couple days ago. Clickity click click click. This will probably solve my phone addiction and improve my posture.

So sorry you're dealing with this. I have sensory sensitivity issues, esp with noise, and couldn't tolerate that click noise at all. It was driving me crazy and would have made me miserable, so I had to return my phone (iphoine 12 mini) and downgrade to an iphone 7. I really wanted the camera on the iphone 12 mini, and saved up money to pay for it, then couldn't keep it because of that darn clicking noise that cannot be turned off. I sure hope someone from Apple sees this discussion -- they need to fix this!!
