WKWebView selection haptics when selection is turned off

Question

When you select text in Safari (and WKWebView), there is a haptic feedback. I disabled any selection (see code below) on the page I'm opening in WKWebView, and the haptic feedback is still there when I long press anywhere on the WKWebView. How can I disable it?

    * {
        -webkit-touch-callout: none;
        -webkit-user-select: none;
    }

I have found something, that might work, I'll post it as an answer. — Marco, Oct 18 '20 at 01:49

I'm having the same issue and I found something that seems to work just fine:

let longPress:UILongPressGestureRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: nil, action: nil)
longPress.minimumPressDuration = 0.2
webView.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)

This works great for a single tap, but doesn't work for a double tap held down unless you set `minimumPressDuration = 0.1` (don't ask me why) – edbentley Dec 11 '20 at 10:30
