What is 3D Touch?

3D Touch arrived with the iPhone 6s, allowing people to push more firmly on some elements of the IOS interface to carry out actions or reveal additional options. It offers a right-click of sorts, giving IOS some extra depth. It also adds complexity, though, and Apple has never been good at making the features 3D Touch enables discoverable. If you have an iPhone 6s or newer, excluding the aforementioned iPhone XR as the iPhone XR doesn’t have 3D Touch, it’s possible you have 3D Touch-enabled and have never used it.

Now we are going to talk about several ways you can enable or disable 3D touch on your iPhone. If you don’t like 3D Touch, you can disable it easily or if your 3D Touch isn’t pre-enabled on your iPhone, you can enable it easily.

How to enable or disable 3D Touch?

Apple makes it very easy to change any type of settings on an Apple device. Enabling or disabling 3D Touch on an iPhone is also very easy and not complicated at all. But one thing that you always need to make sure is that you do some research or watch a tutorial before changing a second instead of taking a lot of time to try to find the setting on your own.

Many people sometimes change the wrong setting and then they don’t remember from which menu they changed it so they cannot reset that setting. You would never want to go through this hassle, right? So, it is better to know beforehand where to look for a setting.

So to enable or disable 3D touch on your iPhone, the first thing you need to do is open the Settings app on the home screen of your phone. Once you have opened the Settings app, you need to tap on “General”.

Then, after going to the general menu, there will be an option called “Accessibility”. When you tap on that it will take you to the accessibility section. In the accessibility section, the third option will be the 3D Touch. Tap on the 3D Touch option and then you can select whether to enable or disable 3D Touch.
