Instagram now fakes '3D-Touch' with new long press features; available for Android users: Report

Popular photo and video sharing app Instagram has now updated its Android app to introduce a 3D Touch-like feature in version 7.13.0. In short, this looks like a “glorified” long press menu. The update is now available via the Google Play Store. For users who haven’t received the update yet and want to try the new feature can download APK file from here. Android Police demoed the functionality of the new feature in the video below. In its experience, it stated that even though it is called long press, it takes barely any time to display the pop up. To use the new Touch feature, users need to long press on an image thumbnail to zoom in on it. Dragging the finger away from the center of the image will shrink it back down to thumbnail size and moving over one of the buttons under the picture allows users to like or share it without having to lift their finger.

Apart from this new feature rolling out, the company is also currently testing  support for multiple accounts through its Android app. However, this features seems to be working only for a selected few. There is no news as to when this feature will roll out for iOS users. This turns out to be a great addition for social media managers and also, business owners who use multiple accounts on a daily basis for work and promotion.
