Many apps let you zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or
pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a general
Zoom feature that lets you magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing. You can zoom
the entire screen (Full Screen Zoom) or zoom part of the screen in a resizable window and
leave the rest of the screen unmagnified (Window Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together
with VoiceOver.
Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn Zoom on or off.
Or use the Accessibility Shortcut. See .
Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three fingers.
Adjust the magnification. Double-tap with three fingers, then drag up or down. This gesture
is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers after the second tap—instead,
drag your fingers on the screen. You can also triple-tap with three fingers, then drag the
Zoom Level slider in the zoom controls that appear. To limit the maximum magnification, go
to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom, then drag the Maximum Zoom Level slider all
the way to the left.
Pan to see more. Drag the screen with three fingers. Or, hold your finger near the edge of
the screen to pan to that side. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly.
Switch between Full Screen Zoom and Window Zoom. Triple-tap with three fingers, then
tap Window Zoom or Full Screen Zoom in the zoom controls that appear. To choose the
mode that’s used when you turn on Zoom, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom
> Zoom Region.
Resize the zoom window (Window Zoom). Triple-tap with three fingers, tap Resize Lens,
then drag any of the round handles that appear.
Move the zoom window (Window Zoom). Drag the handle at the bottom of the zoom
window.
Show the zoom controller. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on
Show Controller, or triple-tap with three fingers, then choose Show Controller. Then you can
double-tap the floating Zoom Controls button to zoom in or out, single-tap the button to
display the zoom controls, or drag it to pan. To move the Zoom Controls button, touch and
hold the button, then drag it to a new location. To adjust the transparency of the zoom
controller, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Idle Visibility.
Have Zoom track your selections or the text insertion point. Go to Settings > General >
