Zooming in or out
Depending on the app, you may be able to zoom in to enlarge, or zoom out to reduce the
image on the screen. When viewing photos, webpages, mail, or maps, for example, pinch two
fingers together to zoom out or spread them apart to zoom in. For photos and webpages, you
can also double-tap (tap twice quickly) to zoom in, then double-tap again to zoom out. For
maps, double-tap to zoom in and tap once with two fingers to zoom out.
Zoom is also an accessibility feature that lets you magnify the screen with any app you’re using,
to help you see what’s on the display. See
