Wow...So 3D Touch isn't a gimmick.

I use 3d touch all the time for Instagram and Twitter it helps get to what I need to do faster I just wish all apps supported 3D Touch

Press and hold along the edge of the screen will bring up multitasking. Similar to double pressing the home button.

Is this only a 7+ feature? I only have a 6S and 6S+ and I can't get that to work on either of those phones.

I have 3D touch working on my phone, I was talking about the multitasking thing mentioned above where touching the edge of the screen will bring up multitasking. This is the part that I can't get working.

I wish I had a 7 Plus But it's a 6s. I press/hold on the far left edge on my 6s.

It works on my 6s Plus. It's finicky though. You have to get way over to the left. I have the best result putting my finger on edge, then rolling it onto the screen. Once you've done it a few times, it's easier.

Good to know. I had no clue. I'm enjoying it very much. Thanks

Pretty cool isn't it?

 

[AugustVance]

I always forget to use that...

Haha, I sometimes forget I can double click the home button I use that so much.

I got it to work. I was trying to do this on the right side of the screen. Thanks for the help. This might be something I use.

I use it to switch between apps. Its the only way I do it now.

I always felt that this option should be customizable. For right-handed folks it is on the wrong side. It should be done on the right side of the phone, followed by right to left swipe. Right now it is on the left, followed by left to right swipe, which is super awkward. Same goes for recent app switch.

I didn't realize how much I used 3D touch until I switched from my 6S to a few android phones last year. It was right up there with iMessage and FaceTime as far as things I missed. It is definitely one of the things I consider whenever I get the itch to try another phone.

I am right handed...but I hold the phone in my left hand. Normally I use the right hand for all the screen touches but I guess if I tried to use it one handed I would probably hold it in my right hand.

Use it on a daily basis myself. Quite a surprise considering I had originally thought it was a gimmick before getting an iPhone that supported it.
