Edit videos and voice memos with VoiceOver
You can use VoiceOver gestures to trim Camera videos and Voice Memo recordings.
Trim a video. While viewing a video in Photos, double-tap the screen to display the video
controls. Select the trim beginning or trim end tool, then swipe up or down to adjust. VoiceOver
announces the amount of time the current position will trim from the recording. To complete the
trim, select Trim and double-tap.
Trim a voice memo. Select the memo in Voice Memos, tap Edit, then tap Start Trimming. Select
the beginning or end of the selection, double-tap and hold, then drag to adjust. VoiceOver
announces the amount of time the current position will trim from the recording. Tap Play to
preview the trimmed recording. When you’ve got it the way you want it, tap Trim.
Zoom
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. But, 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 > Zoom. Or use the Accessibility
Shortcut. See
Accessibility Shortcut on page 124.
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. The tap-
and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second
tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. You can also tap three times 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 > Maximum Zoom Level.
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 Mode 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 on the edge of the zoom window.
Show the zoom controller. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Show Controller.
Or triple-tap with three fingers, then choose Show Controller. After the controller appears, 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, tap 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.
