Is there a way to customize 3D Touch actions for app icons like the Messages app?

I

iMore Question

I want to find a way to customize or even add 3D Touch options to the app icons on my home screen. Why? Here are two reasons I can think of:

1. The Messages App doesn't seem to make sense. It doesn't show my most recent text threads. Instead it shows random ones and I'm not sure what the criteria is. Like for the Phone app, it's obvious that it shows my first 3 favorite contacts, but for Messages, I'm stumped.
2. The Settings app has no 3D Touch options! I would love to customize this so I can quickly view and choose available Wifi networks. That would be really cool!
