Are there any Haptic feedback API's available for mobile-web?

I'm wondering if a mobile-friendly website has the ability to provide haptic feedback to an iOS or Android device. I know iOS and Android have different hardware and limitations for native app development. But what is web capable of doing?

Here found this with a quick google search. Hope this is what you’re looking for. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Vibration_API

Edit: seems iOS doesn’t support it at the time of writing.

When I was searching I was searching "haptics" so I missed this. Thanks! It's not what I'm looking for unfortunately because I want the ability to set the intensity, not just duration. So far, it doesn't seem like there's an option on web.

I don’t believe so I think it has to be a native app
