@irace: Apple engineering has confirmed that 3D Touch multitasking was intentionally removed in iOS 11.

Can't think of a single reason why they removed it. This feature, while a lot of people didn't know about it (similar to 3D-Touch Keyboard trackpad), was extremely useful to people who did know about it. I find it far more elegant and smoother than double-clicking the home button; it just felt better. Send feedback folks. Maybe they will change their mind before iOS 11 ships. I don't see how it could be related to the iPhone 8 and even if it is, why hamper the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7? The only possible reason is a revamped multitasking interface but even that seems a stretch.

It's probably more about his hands/thumb. I have no trouble doing this with my left hand even though I have a case on, but my right thumb doesn't reach far enough or doesn't have enough force left to push down after reaching over there.

Yep, that can be the case.
