OneDrive iOS App Gets Support for 3D Touch’s Peek and Pop

Users of Microsoft OneDrive on iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus can now benefit from a fresh update that has expanded the OneDrive app’s use of the pressure sensitive 3D Touch technology. Now, the Peek and Pop feature can be used to quickly preview OneDrive files and folders without opening them.

As Microsoft explains in the release notes for this update, which brings the OneDrive app to version 7.1, an “extra hard tap (not too hard)” on a file or folder will instantly bring up a preview of the content. We can imagine this proving useful for many OneDrive users who can’t quite recall what they have put into particular files and folders, and want to quickly check without the hassle of opening any of them.

Any iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus owners who are still unfamiliar with the Peek and Pop aspect of 3D Touch can turn to Apple’s website to read up on the feature’s impressive functionality. Peek and Pop is built into many stock apps and enables, for example, speedy peeking at emails in the Mail app and, in the Camera app, quick looking at previously taken photos without any need to leave the viewfinder.

The iOS app for Microsoft OneDrive can be freely downloaded for iPhone and iPad from the App Store.
