3D touch

3D Touch is an Apple feature that detects different levels of pressure on the screen. When users apply varying amounts of pressure, it triggers shortcuts or actions in apps. This technology works mainly in native iOS apps and is not commonly used in web apps.

A common use of 3D Touch is content previewing. For example, in a list of emails or articles, users can press lightly on an item to see a preview before fully opening it. This helps users quickly view content and navigate more efficiently.[1]

Pro Tip: Make sure that 3D touch isn't the only way to access central features. Users should be able to find the primary features without discovering the 3D touch option.
