Apple will bring back iPhone’s 3D Touch multitasking gesture in future iOS 11 update
Apple executive Craig Federighi has apparently confirmed that a popular 3D Touch gesture for the iPhone that was removed in iOS 11.0 will be returning in an upcoming software update. The gesture was a quick way of getting to the multitasking screen, and required just a firm press on the left edge of the screen and a flick right to bring up the app switcher.
According to an email published by MacRumors, Federighi said that Apple had to temporarily pull the useful shortcut “due to a technical constraint.” Apparently the company has now managed to overcome that issue and restore it, with Federighi promising “we will be bringing it back in an upcoming iOS 11.x update.”
At least for now, the only way of bringing up the app switcher in iOS...
