Disable Haptic Touch on IOS 13 (keeping 3D Touch) I recently upgraded my iPhone 6s+ to iOS13.

Haptic Touch is getting in the way of how I use the phone.  It's slower than 3D Touch, pops up and distracts me when my finger rests on the screen and provides no functionality I didn't already have.

Is the only way to get rid of Haptic Touch to restore from backup to iOS12?

Am I missing something about Haptic Touch?  It seemed like a UI hack to allow 3D Touch features on budget iPhones, but for some reason was forced on everything?

For those searching on this:

"3D Touch" is used by pressing hard on the screen, e.g., in text areas, you can press hard on the keyboard and move a cursor around, pressing hard again to select words, sentences or dragging out a precise selection with only your thumb.

"Haptic Touch" is used by resting your finger on the screen and waiting until there's a vibration.  E.g., the keyboard cursor can be activated by resting your thumb on the space bar then dragged around the text.  You select by touching the screen with a second finger (without removing your first finger from the screen... you'll need two hands) then dragging one of your fingers to expand the selection.



Update: Tried 13.2, it's still not possible to disable only Haptic Touch in the settings menu.

I've submitted a feature request here, if you're in the same boat, please do the same: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Apple discontinued 3D Touch in iOS devices starting with iOS 13.  3D Touch relied on special screen hardware to determine the amount of pressure being applied.  Newer iPhones (anything after the iPhone XS and its variants)  do not have that type of screen.

The only way to return to 3D Touch on older devices with pressure-sensitive screens is to revert back to an older iOS version.

There's no way turn off Haptic Touch on iOS 13 (the latest iOS version as of now).  You can adjust the sensitivity and duration by going to Settings -&gt; Accessibility -&gt; Touch -&gt; 3D &amp; Haptic Touch.  You can turn 3D Touch on and off here.



From here you can adjust the "Touch Duration" to see if that helps you.
