The latest version of Instagram app for Android brings iPhone’s 3D Touch feature to your phone. Read on to know how to get and use this pretty-interesting feature right now. 3D Touch is a pretty-cool feature of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. It lets you preview the content by force touching on the screen, for example on an image thumbnail.
Latest version of Instagram brings iPhone’s 3D Touch feature to Android, but not with a force touch, instead with a long- press. Since Android does not have iPhone’s special sensors integrated with the screen to recognize your force touch, Instagram uses the long-press gesture to bring 3D Touch feature on Android. Whatever will be that the 3D Touch is a pretty cool feature.
