If there was a race to be crowned the most fascinating iOS 18 feature, the “Music Haptics” might turn out to be a strong contender. Once brought into action, this Accessibility feature makes your iPhone play rhythmic haptics in accordance with the music you are currently listening to. In short, your iPhone vibrates and dances in line with a supported song so that you can feel the vibe of the music in all its glory.
If you have a liking for this brand-new feature, chances are you would love to create a vocal shortcut that can trigger Music Haptics with ease on your iPhone. Read on to set up this cool shortcut.
Activate Music Haptics with a Vocal Shortcut in iOS 18
Right from the onset, Music Haptics is backed by millions of Apple Music songs. For better accessibility, each song shows a “Music Haptics” label so that you have a clear idea about whether or not a particular song is designed to work with this feature.
Apple Music aside, Music Haptics is designed to work with third-party music-streaming apps as well. However, it’s going to take some time before the popular third-party music apps will begin to work with this iOS 18 feature. On your iPhone, go to the Settings app -> Accessibility -> Music Haptics -> Now, turn on the switch for Music Haptics, and then customize the setting to your heart’s liking.
- Having taken care of the important things, navigate to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Now, tap Accessibility.
- Dive into the Speech section and choose Vocal Shortcuts.
- Now, tap on the Add Action button. If you haven’t tried a vocal shortcut yet, tap the Set Up Vocal Shortcuts option.
- Tap Continue.
- Under the Accessibility section, find Music Haptics and select it.
- On the following screen, enter the custom phrase with which you want to activate the Music Haptics on your device. For instance, “Haptics”.
- Up next, verify the custom phrase by speaking it three times.
- When the shortcut is ready, tap on Continue to finish.
And that’s all there is to it! From now onward, you can trigger the Music Haptics feature by just speaking the shortcut.
Delete Music Haptics Vocal Shortcut on iPhone
