No Tapping After an Update:

Without providing your location, note that turning off the tapping is not an option in all countries/regions through the world. So, I’d take that a big plus, if in such a location.

A. iPhone Settings App:

  1. Open: Settings
  2. Go to: Sounds & Haptics
  3. Tap: Keyboard Feedback
  4. Toggle Off: Sound
  5. Toggle On: Sound


B. Third-Party Keyboard:

There might be a mute button that is turned on, on your keyboard. To turn if off, of an applicable.
