My 3D touch is not working properly. Please Help!

I don't get any options for any app! Whenever I use 3D touch on an app, it just blurs out rest of the screen, that's it!

I have tried it on all the apps, literally all the apps but it doesn't work. It simply blurs out rest of the screen and after sometime app repositioning and deleting option appears which we get by long press on an app icon.

will it help if I upgrade to 9.2?


Please help

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.1

Hello lexium12,


It sounds like your phone is recognizing that you are using a 3D Touch but rather than show options it seems to stop at the part where it blurs out the rest of the image on the screen. That's interesting and it sounds like a software issue so we should be able to resolve it. I would start by turning off 3D Touch in your Settings:


  1. Go to Settings > General.
  2. Tap Accessibility > 3D Touch.

From: If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn‘t respond to touch


Then quit the Settings app:


Force an app to close in iOS

1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.


When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
