The release of the second iOS 17 Beta to developers on Wednesday includes a new setting that will make iPhone users feel the phone’s haptic feedback kick in faster than on iOS 16. Haptic feedback is considered an Accessibility feature which means that the settings can be found by going to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Haptic Touch. There you will see a box with two options: Fast and Slow. You can adjust how soon after you long-press on the screen you’ll see a content preview, action, or a contextual menu.

Whether you change the duration speed in iOS 16 or the iOS 17 Beta, you can test out the duration of the haptic speed you choose by long-pressing on the image of a flower under the heading “Touch Duration Test.” Note the difference in each setting with the time it takes the image of the flower to reach its full size after you feel the haptic feedback.
To reiterate, there are currently two haptic feedback duration options in iOS 16 which are Fast and Slow. The latest iOS 17 Beta has three: Fast, Default, and Slow. The Fast in the iOS 17 Beta is faster than the Fast available in iOS 16 and the Default in the iOS 17 Beta is equivalent to the Fast setting in iOS 16. Got it?
