Facebook's iOS app will now allow iPhone 6s users to quickly update their statuses, as well as take or upload pictures without even entering the Facebook app.

With 3D Touch, iPhone 6s users have previously been able to preview pictures and emails using a quick tap on the screen. Now, Facebook too is compatible with 3D Touch, Engadget reports.

When iPhone 6s users long tap on the Facebook app icon on their home screens, they are now given three options: take a photo or video, upload a photo or video, or write a post (status update). With the post option, Facebook users can either update their statuses or check into their location to let freinds know where they are. These features make it easy and fast to perform these three common activities.

The Facebook app may actually add a fourth option soon. These tools are called Quick Actions, and the iPhone 6s allows up to four such actions per application.

Facebook-owned Instagram was one of the first third-party apps to support 3D Touch. Pinterest and Dropbox also support the feature. To check if an app is compatible with 3D Touch, users need to try a long tap on the app's icon to see if a list of 3D Touch options is generated.

At Apple's iPhone event in late September, the company also introduced a new feature called Live Photos. These photos record short videos before and after a picture, making it look like the photo is moving. Apple promised that Live Photos would work with Facebook by the end of 2015. This means moving profile and album pictures for Facebook users are coming very soon, according to Apple Insider.

The new 3D Touch options are available to iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users who update their Facebook app through the App Store.
