If you are users of Facebook and you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you will be happy to know that the famous social network has already begun to integrate 3D Touch within your application official. Last October, Facebook for iOS received an update that took advantage of Apple's pressure recognition technology to include shortcuts that allowed you to create a new post, upload a photo or video, and take a photo or video, all from the screen Of start.

Taking into account that up to four quick actions can be added to the home screen, Facebook has included a fourth that will allow us to access our wall from the springboard. But to provide a full 3D Touch experience, something more is needed: Peek & Pop. Facebook has already started adding the famous gestures to its application for links, photos, profiles, pages, groups and events. Its operation seems to be exactly the same as we do in Safari: press a little to make Peek and then press harder to make Pop, which will open the selection in full screen.

Facebook with Peek & Pop… not yet for everyone

But the good news is, for now, for a few users. The social network has started today to allow these 3D Touch functions to a small group of users. More people will be able to use it in the coming months. It is supposed to be like a kind of beta that can only be used by people who have been selected at random and, probably, the functions are activated remotely, as they already did with the WhatsApp calls.

To know if you already have the new functions available, you just have to download the application and perform any of the gestures. Perhaps the one that will get you out of your doubts the fastest will be to use the 3D Touch on the home screen and see if they have added the fourth quick access. Have you been lucky?
