I don't think so. YOu would need the hardware to support 3D touch, and the SE simply doesn't have this installed.

Exactly. No way to use 3d touch. Even jailbreaking won't work, as the previous poster said. No hardware. The SE is a slightly updated iPhone 5S.

In some circumstances, such as with the Messaging app, a substitute for performing a function which requires 3D touch is to single finger tap twice and hold when using VoiceOver.

For example, when sending a message, if you just double tap on the "Send" button, the message is sent. However, if you tap twice and hold or use the 3D touch gesture on the "Send" button in iOS 10 you will be brought to a menu of options for adding effects to the message.

I am guessing that a similar substitution for the 3D touch gesture may work in other circumstances. This has worked for me on my iPhone 6 running iOS 10 and it does not support 3D touch.
