How to Turn Off 3D Touch on an iPhone 7

You have almost certainly noticed that the Home button on your iPhone 7 is probably a little different than you may remember from some earlier versions of the iPhone. This is because it’s no longer a typical button, but rather one that uses a digital response called “haptics” to replicate the feel of a pressed button.

But the iPhone has another interesting characteristic related to touch, and it affects what happens when you touch something on your screen with a variable amount of pressure. This is called 3D Touch, and it provides some different options depending on how hard you tap on something.

While 3D touch can be useful, it can also be kind of frustrating. If you find that you are having trouble getting the hang of it, and that it’s causing more harm than good, then our guide below will show you how to disable 3D Touch on your iPhone 7.
