Resume watching videos from the Home screen
When you’re watching a video and are interrupted for whatever reason, you can resume watching it thanks to 3D Touch and you don’t even need to relaunch the app. Force touch the Video app icon on your Home screen and in the 3D Touch menu you can open any of the four most recently watched videos.
