Apple added another dimension to the way we interact with our iPhones. The company calls it 3D Touch , which, in essence, the entire screen of your phone into a huge pressure sensitive button transforms.
This a new method of interaction able to be used throughout the device and, depending on the app you are using, it shows different actions and results.
Here are the basic methods of interaction for 3D Touch you need to know to take full advantage of this new feature.
Quick Action
When you press the icon of an app, Quick Action menu will appear. Music app for Apple, this includes a shortcut to the digital radio station Beats 1 or Apple Music Search. The app shows the three contacts messages that you send messages more frequently. While Instagram will give you the option to create a new publication, view your activity history, find and open your mailbox direct messages.
Most of Apple's own apps have enabled Quick Action; developers outside companies are releasing updates to enable the feature. However, it is important to note that after installing the update an app that includes Quick Action, you first launch the app before the shares begin to function. After the first activation, Quick Action still appear.
When an application does not have the function of Quick Action, you will feel several tenuously vibrations on your finger you indicate that Quick Action is not available.
Peek and Pop
While Quick Action facilitates performing tasks from your home screen, the Peek and Pop function lets you do more on any screen.
Developers have different options for deploying Peek and Pop. An example is in the messaging app where subtly pressing on a message thread you will make your device to display a small preview of the conversation. You may consider that this is a way to have a look at the chain of messages without having to open (and designate the message as read). You can slide up when you're giving out the conversation to see a list of actions and default responses. You can also have a look at the emails in the Mail app (Mail).
The "peek" (look) will remain active as long as your finger stays on the screen; lifting your finger close the function. Also, you do not have to keep putting pressure on the screen once this action is enabled.
The portion of "pop" (open) appears when you press harder on the screen when you're giving a preview of the message or content you're viewing. By giving an even stronger pressure completely open the content you are watching, allowing you to interact with it.
You can also have a look at Web sites, the number of flights, important dates on the calendar and a long list of information displayed on your screen. If a portion of a message has underlined text, it is likely that iOS has identified information in the message you can preview through Peek and Pop.
Selecting text
3D Touch, you can turn the keyboard of your new iPhone into a trackpad to move the cursor to select text or text. Subtle pressure activates the trackpad , allowing you to move the cursor to drag your fingers along the screen. Strong pressure will begin to highlight the text.
I think we've all encountered difficulties when selecting text on an iPhone, and once mastered the use of 3D Touch will not miss for anything the old way to select text.
