How to Enable 3D Touch on Any iPhone (JB Tweak) (Video)
Fair warning, this is still a work in progress and only works on the home screen, but still, if you want to at least have some idea of what your missing out on your simply, not the latest, iPhone, here’s a good way to experience it.
A developer has created a new JB tweak that allows you to tap and hold to use the 3D touch features throughout the homescreen at least. Combine this with the Live Photos Tweak I did a video on last week and you have a pretty good idea of what 3D Touch is like (and begin to seriously question why the hell Apple needed to add hardware for this to work on the newer iPhones when you can clearly enable tap and hold to do it on all iPhones).
Here’s how to get it and use it.

Jailbreak Your Device
First, you must be jailbroken so please head to my jailbreaking section, click the link there for your version of iOS, complete it, and return here to continue once you have the Cydia store on your phone.
Install Forcy
Next we need to install the tweak from the Cydia store by doing the following:
1. Open Cydia.
2. Tap search at the bottom right.
3. Type in Forcy and tap it when it comes up.
4. Tap install at the top right.
5. Tap confirm and wait for it to install.
6. Tap restart springboard and wait for it to restart.
Use Forcy
There are no options to configure, you can now just tap and hold on icons on the homescreen that support 3D Touch to get their quick actions.
What do you guys think about the whole 3D Touch being a hardware required feature from Apple? Anyone else calling bullshit?
The Apple Store do not shows me the “cydia” app,what can I do?
It isn’t in the app store. You need to jailbreak the phone. Click the link in the tutorial for how to do that.
it doesn’t show an app named forcy or revealmenu in cydia search. What do I do?
I see Forcy no problem. See attached. Make sure that Cydia is all up to date by clicking Sources and updating anything in there then searching again?

When i click on the jail break it gets me an add thats it
You’re not clicking on the right thing then. Head here and do this (you need to be on iOS 9.0.2 or BELOW, if you are on 9.1 or 9.2 you will have to wait for a new jailbreak to come out –I’ll do a video on that as soon as it does) – https://theunlockr.com/2015/10/14/how-to-jailbreak-ios-9/
Then come back here and continue.
I tried to jailbreak but I cant because my phone is on the latest update, how do I go upon fixing this?
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do until there is a new update for the jailbreak. You’ll have to just be patient in the meantime. Soon as one comes out I’ll do a video.
I haven’t got my email yet it has been 30 minuets
What are you referring to? There shouldn’t be any emails etc. You need to jailbreak the phone then download the tweak from the Cydia store. No need to email pay or anything else. If you were asked to email or pay then you didn’t use the correct program.
If you have IOS above 9.0.2 (9.1, 9.2, etc) then you can NOT jailbreak your phone at the time of me posting this comment until there is a new jailbreak method. Soon as there is I’ll do a video on it but until then you’ll need to be patient like the rest of us.
Greetings all the way from India! First of all thank you for all the clean videos and articles. The feel and backgrounds you use are quite pleasing to the eye.Very aesthetic!! Just wanted to tell you that in such videos you should give the repo link as well.
Thanks so much! As for repository links I always put them in the videos this one didn’t require a repository when I did it so that’s why it didn’t have one in the video. Thanks again!
Hi I’m from England and I was just wondering Can u update a 9.3.1?
Unfortunately, no. You’ll have to wait until there is a new jailbreak for iOS 9.3.1. Soon as there is I’ll have a video go up here – https://theunlockr.com/jailbreaking
