The best practice is to not *require* 3D Touch for any action. It should only be used to provide quick, optional access to common tasks. It should not be the only way to trigger some functionality.
Human Interface Guidelines for 3D Touch
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/3DTouch.html
Quoting the HIG: "Don’t use peek as the only way to enable item-specific actions. Not every device supports peek and pop and some users may choose to turn off 3D Touch, so it’s essential to find other ways to make peek functionality available in your app. When your app runs on older devices, it can make sense to mirror a peek’s quick actions in a view that users get when they touch and hold an item."
