Context menu after press on app icon

Question

Does custom apps support this feature today? Instagram support this feature for example.

Can you help me to add context menu to my app. What shold I do to add context menu? And How can I handle it? I tried to find this information in google/stackoverflow/documentation. But without some results. Only force touch on iWatch.

May be some link to documentation or article about this. May be it is not first question about this.

P.S. Thank for attention and any help. Thak

From documentation:

iOS 9 supports Home screen static and dynamic quick actions.

• Static quick actions are available to the user immediately upon app installation. Define Home screen static quick actions in your app’s Info.plist file in the UIApplicationShortcutItems array.

• Dynamic quick actions are available to the user after first launch. Define Home screen dynamic quick actions with the UIApplicationShortcutItem, UIMutableApplicationShortcutItem, and UIApplicationShortcutIcon classes. Add dynamic quick actions to your app’s shared UIApplication object using the shortcutItems property.

Also available sample application source code.
