And if you think this is a bug, think again. As TechCrunch's &nbsp;notes,&nbsp;"Fwiw. this is not a bug ... Haptic works in many other ways on iPhone SE, but not on notifications."Every iPhone since the 6s has had either 3D Touch or Haptic Touch available to access more options across iOS. However, for some reason, Haptic Touch use is being restricted more in the SE than on other iPhones. What does this mean in reality? Rich notification options can't be accessed with a long-press. Instead, an iPhone SE user needs to slide a notification to the left and then tap a "View" option to access rich options.about the missing feature on Reddit, user A11Bionic said, "I called Apple Support and they confirmed this is true and there is no software update planned to change this behavior." So for now, it's an "as designed" feature, but with enough uproar by iPhone SE users, I won't be surprised to see Apple patch the functionality in for notifications in a future update. It's worth pointing out, though, that the first-generation iPhone SE didn't include support for this, but clearly users want it in the 2020 version.Sign up for Fully Mobilized newsletter to get our top mobile tech stories delivered right to your inbox.This newsletter may contain advertising, deals, or affiliate links.
