Read online something about the new iOS (just installed in the last couple of days) and 3D Touch, and it seems this makes it impossible to use the old method.

Maybe turn your phone completely off by holding down the power button until a prompt comes up asking you to Slide to Power Off, let it shut down then wait about 10 seconds and then turn it back on again. Sometimes that fixes problems like that.

Hope it helps!

If that doesn’t fix the problem then wait till September 24th. Apple will be releasing ios 13.1 which is way more stable and fixes a lot of the bugs and brings back some missing features that ios 13 left out.

I have been on the beta of ios 13.1 and it has worked way better for me then ios 13 ever did.
