I use it quite a bit for the Phone app where a hard press on the phone app pops up a little menu which allows me to quickly call my top 3 favourites and I have arranged them so the numbers I call the most are at the top. I also like it for the Camera app where it's easy to take a picture, video or selfi with 3D touch, for the Skype app there is a "New call" and "Dialpad" option which pops you straight into the appropriate screen, for Messages you get the two most recent people you texted with and a new message option, you already mentioned the mail app which has a new message option as well as a shortcut to pop straight intot he Unread messages mailbox.Also, if you want to search for an app or redeem a gift card those are two options available when you hard press on the app store app. I like the search feature here because it puts focus into the search field whereas if I open the app, I then have to double tap the search tab and then find the search field at the top and double tap on that to put focus there and bring up the on-screen keyboard. Here one hard press and a double tap on search will put me right there ready to type in my search term. Of course getting to Redeem also involves quite a few taps if you first open the app because you then have to make sure the Featured tab is selected, touch it to put focus there and then swipe left 4 times to get to the Redeem button.

I ask because, even though I thought I would use it for some things like mail and immediately getting to the new message choice, I find I just simply don't use it. Old habits die hard. How about the rest of you? Where have you found 3-D touch so useful that it has replaced muscle memory and old habits with new ones?
