Instagram For Android Gets 3D Touch-Like Feature - If you have seen the promotional materials for the new iPhones then
the words 3D Touch might have caught your attention, this is a new
feature that Apple introduced first with the Apple Watch and brought
over a better version to the new iPhones.
The idea is to provide users with a completely different input method
that’s based on how hard they press down on the display. There’s aren’t a
lot of Android smartphones that have this feature but Instagram today
updated its Android app to bring a 3D Touch-like experience.
3D
Touch requires specific hardware that’s present in the new iPhones,
developers can tap into it to bring the new interactions to their apps.
Instagram was one of the very first apps for iOS to support this feature.
Instagram
has replicated that experience on Android with some software trickery.
On the iPhone the user will tap with more force if they want to quickly
pop up the image and a get a preview, that’s basically a long press, so
that’s how the interaction is differentiated on Android now.
Long
press on an image in Instagram for Android search results now and the
image preview will pop up, this feature doesn’t really need a force
sensitive touch screen to work, so users simply need to drag their
finger away from the center of the image to shrink it back down to
thumbnail size. Drag the finger over one of the share buttons to
instantly share it without even having to lift the finger.
This new 3D Touch-like feature is available in version 7.13.0 of Instagram for Android that’s now available from the Play Store. Source: Ubergizmo
