If you’re into diving deep in the latest Android N Developer Preview, you’ll see that there’s a code that is similar to Apple’s 3D Touch feature for the new Android OS. A developer showed us a preview of what Google may be thinking.
Because there’s no Android device with physical 3D Touch capabilities yet, the developer had to mimic the functionality using the traditional long presses and swiping downs on the icon.
