Facebook rolling out 3D Touch to preview links, profiles, photosJanuary 23, 2016 - 10:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook's bringing more 3D Touch features to its primary app, allowing users with an iPhone 6S (or 6S Plus) to peek and pop links, profiles, and other content, the Verge reports. Press lightly for a preview of whatever you're looking at, and then continue pressing if you want to open it fully. Facebook says peek and pop will work with "web links, profiles, pages, groups, events, photos, profile pictures, and cover photos." So even though the company is already trying to filter out some of the clickbait nonsense that can clutter the news feed, you'll be able to use 3D Touch to get a sense of whether something's really worth the "pop." Facebook's also adding another "quick view" shortcut that pops up when you press down on its home screen icon; now there'll be one that takes you directly to your timeline. Facebook's app has supported 3D Touch since October with a few of these shortcuts — for new status updates and uploading photos, mainly — but that's about it. However, Facebook says it'll start rolling out these latest 3D Touch tricks to "a small group of people beginning Friday, January 22," with everyone else getting it "over the coming months." Phased rollouts have become common for Silicon Valley's biggest companies (Apple excluded). Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
