Facebook app update adds new features available only on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new Facebook app now supports 3D Touch, but not all the new features.
Apple’s latest iPhones include a new type of screen that can detect the difference between tapping, pressing, and pressing deeper. This new technology is 3D Touch.
Most Apple apps support 3D Touch, and Facebook-owned Instagram was one of the first to add 3D Touch support. If you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you can update your Facebook app and use the new features immediately.
The latest Facebook App update adds 3D Touch.
Facebook app update includes 3D Touch support for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The company hasn’t added full 3D Touch support, but it has at least some of it to try.
With the 3D Touch option on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, you can press the app on the home screen to use Quick Actions.

Facebook app update, new iPhone owners can force the app to perform one of three actions.
With 3D Touch on iPhone 6s, users can now quickly access these options for faster sharing on Facebook.
The Take Photo or Video option jumps straight to the camera for a quick way to take a photo. The upload option opens a gallery of your photos. Write a post option goes directly to the status update box.
What’s missing from this Facebook app update is the ability to use Peek and Pop inside the app to push harder to press a photo or link and see a preview and then open to that link or item. Instagram and many other apps support it.
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus can also take Live Photos that record motion and sound. The new Facebook app does not support posting and viewing live photos, but it is reportedly coming later this year.
Facebook recently announced Facebook Reactions, a new way to respond to a post in addition to a regular Like. If this feature works, it will come to iPhone and Android apps in the US after testing.
The Facebook Messenger app works with the Apple Watch but does not yet support 3D Touch.
