FYI found a way to change contacts for 3d touch for phone icon. Originally you have 3 contacts when long pressing the phone icon. You can change the contacts by making them your first 3 favorites in contacts. I haven't figured out how to change the 3 contacts for messages yet. Anyway just a quick tip. And if anyone finds out how to change contacts for quick messages (3d touch), please chime in.

Hey, so I think I found a temporary solution. I had 3 people in the quick actions list and they appeared to be people I have contacted the most recently. I found one contact odd because I rarely talk to them, but the other day I sent a bunch of messages back and forth with them. When I deleted that message thread, the quick action menu removed that contact as well and replaced it with the next person that I frequently contact. Once I continue using this feature more, I will update you with any patterns I see in how the quick action menu selects the contact. Hope this helps!

Whether I can manually set what 3 contacts show up on the 3D Touch for Messages or not doesn't really matter since I still find it faster to go into messages and just find who I'm looking for. Especially if those are 3 frequent contacts.

This 3D Touch stuff hasn't even scratched the surface yet for what I think 3rd party developers can do with it.
