How to make good use of 3D Touch features in iOS?

Prioritise Downloads of Apps while updating

This is probably the best 3D Touch feature. Normally when we update the installed apps, we choose Update All in App Store. All the apps are updated in order but sometimes you might have to wait to use any app in the list until the whole update finishes. If you are someone who is impatient, you can 3D Touch the downloading/waiting app and choose Prioritise Download from the menu.
