Apps with 3D Touch on iPhone 6s: here is a list

3D Touch is without a doubt the signature feature of the Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus: it opens up a new, quicker way to interact with apps that is much more efficient and might prove to be a huge time saver, and just a big convenience.

At launch, 3D Touch works with Apple's core, first-party apps - things like the dialer, where you can quickly 3D Touch and call your recent contacts, or with mail, calendar and others, where similar functionality is available.

Many third-party apps already support 3D Touch

And while you might think that it will take quite a while for third-party apps to support the feature, that's not quite true. Today, on the very launch day of the new iPhone 6s series, we're rounding up the third-party apps that already support or have definite plans to support the new interaction model with 3D Touch.

No one manually curated list is fully comprehensive, so if we've missed an app that already supports 3D Touch feel free to let us know in the comments right below.
