The screen on your iPhone 7 is very versatile and can respond to your touch in many ways.
It can even gauge the pressure that you are applying when you tap a region on the screen, and it can perform different actions based on the varying levels of pressure that you use.
This is a setting called 3D Touch, and it adds a significant amount of versatility to the way that you interact with your apps.
