If you have a 3D Touch-enabled iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you can use Peek and Pop gestures to interact with Horizon Client.

Using Peek and Pop with the Horizon app

You can Peek at the Horizon app on the iOS device's Home screen to show a quick action menu. In the quick action menu, you can tap Connect to Most Recent Server to connect to the most recently used server. If a recent server does not exist, you can tap the Connect to Most Recent Server item to add a new server.

After you connect to a remote desktop or published application, Horizon Client adds a shortcut to the remote desktop or published application to the quick action menu. For example, if you connect to a remote desktop named Win7, Horizon Client adds Connect to Win7. You can tap a shortcut to connect to a remote desktop or published application.

The Horizon icon quick action menu can contain up to three shortcuts.

Using Peek and Pop Inside Horizon Client

On the desktop and application selection window, you can Peek at a remote desktop or published application to show a quick action menu. You can tap items in the quick action menu to connect, log off, mark a favorite, and perform other actions, depending on the remote desktop or published application. You can also Pop into a remote desktop or published application to connect to it.

Quick action menus are also available on the Servers, Recent, and Favorites windows. For example, on the Servers window, you can Peek at a saved server and tap items in the quick action menu to edit, remove, or connect to the server. On the Recent window, you can Peek at a remote desktop or published application shortcut and tap items in the quick action menu to remove the shortcut or connect to the remote desktop or published application. You can also Pop into a saved server or remote desktop or published application shortcut to connect to it.

Enabling Peek for the Horizon Client Tools

By default, the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon appears in the middle of the window when you are connected to a remote desktop or published application. You can tap the radial menu icon to expand the menu and display icons for each tool, which you tap to select. For pictures of the radial menu icon and tools icons, see Using the Horizon Client Tools on a Mobile Device.

If you enable Peek for the Horizon Client Tools, the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon does not appear. To display the icons for each tool, press deeply on any place on the window.

To enable Peek for the Horizon Client Tools, tap Settings at the bottom of the Horizon Client window, tap Touch, and toggle the Peek for the menu setting to on. If you are connected to a remote desktop or published application, you can access settings by tapping the Settings (gear) icon in the Horizon Client Tools radial menu.
