Twitter has updated its app for iPhone and iPad today with support for 3D Touch on the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Users will now be able to use the pressure-sensitive screen to quickly access creating a new tweet, new message, and more. Here's the official breakdown:
- Support for 3D Touch on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus so that users can access New Tweet, New Message and Search without opening the Twitter app on the home screen
Twitter also notes a number of other features as being fresh to the app, but each one listed, such as quick replies and support for universal links, actually appeared earlier this week in a prior update. So, if you fancy checking out 3D Touch with Twitter, you can snag the latest update from the App Store link below.

Twitter adds 3D Touch support for quick access to tweets, messages, and search
Both updates still don't actually allow universal links for me. Idk why. I've deleted/reinstalled the app, hard reboot, all of it. Nothing has worked. Other apps that have added the functionality work just fine. Just Twitter doesn't work for me
I've downloaded the update, but the 3D Touch feature doesn't work for me??? It's not user error either. I get the rapid Taptic pulse when pressing on the icon. Weird.

Err...disregard, turns out it was human error. I needed to login first. What a dork!
3D Touch on the Twitter icon is not working for me. Anyone else???

Go to Settings > Twitter and click on your account. Make sure your password is correct and it should work.
Oh yeah I'm logged in ok alright, everything else works, just not 3D Touch on the home screen icon for this particular app. Curious

I don't see the ability to 'peek' into a Twitter link buy using 3D Touch. Can someone confirm that this does not work? This was one of the features that I was most looking forward to, yet none of the popular Twitter clients have implemented it(yet).
