Facebook Upgrades Its iOS App With New 3D Touch Features

Facebook's iOS app is getting an update! And iPhone 6S users will appreciate it: new 3D Touch actions.

It will begin to roll out support for new "peek and pop" 3D Touch actions in its iOS app. It allows iPhone 6S users to utilise 3D Touch while browsing their news feed and other areas of the FB app!

It's meant to be rolling out Thursday to a small number of users!

With the newest update, Facebook has expanded its support for the feature with new "peek and pop" gestures. Pressing lightly on a profile, link, Page, group or photo will trigger a preview of the content while pressing harder will open the link, photo, profile or group.

Apple introduced 3D Touch last year with the iPhone 6S. The feature is powered by the addition of pressure sensitive senosors in the iPhone's display that are able to detect subtle variations in pressure. It, along with Live Photos, is one of the iPhone 6S' flagship features.
