Peek at an item or pop it open
For a preview of what's in an item, follow these steps:
Move VoiceOver focus to an item or app.
Press on the screen and let go when you feel a vibration. You'll get the preview.
Now, if you want to pop the item open, press more firmly.

Press on the screen and let go when you feel a vibration.

Flick up or down on the screen with one finger to get Trash, Unread, and other actions.

Use 3D Touch with Zoom
You can zoom in and out on the screen with one finger. First, make sure that the Zoom Controller is on by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Show Controller.
