Tips

While the sound of a keyboard click-clacking away can be satisfying for some, perhaps you would prefer to compose your text messages in silence. While most laptops – with the exception of the Microsoft Surface – do not have dedicated keyboard sound output, many iPhone and Android devices default to making audible typing noises. This step-by-step wikiHow guide will show you how to change some simple settings so your iPhone, iPad, Android, or Windows laptop will stay silent while you type.

Things You Should Know

On an iPhone, change the keyboard volume in the Sounds & Haptics menu, and if you have iOS 16 or later you can also change the vibration settings.
The steps to change keyboard sound on a Samsung phone are different from most other Androids.
Android users can download and switch between many different keyboard apps, though Gboard and SwiftKey are the most common.
