Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility
Shortcut. See
on page 151.
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 triple-tap with three fingers, then drag
the Zoom Level slider in the 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 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, 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.
Have Zoom track your selections or the text insertion point. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Zoom > Follow Focus. Then, for example, if you use VoiceOver, turning on this
option causes the zoom window to magnify each element on the screen as you select it using a
swipe in VoiceOver.
Zoom in on your typing without magnifying the keyboard. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Follow Focus and turn off Zoom Keyboard. When you zoom in
while typing (in Messages or Notes, for example), the text you type is magnified while all of the
keyboard remains visible.
Display the magnified part of the screen in grayscale or inverted color. Triple-tap with three
fingers, then tap Choose Filter in the zoom controls that appear.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, the screen image follows the insertion point,
keeping it in the center of the display. See
Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard
on page 32.
If you have iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you can turn on Display Zoom to see larger onscreen
controls. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > View.
Invert Colors and Grayscale
Sometimes, inverting the colors or changing to grayscale on the iPhone screen makes it easier
to read.
Invert the screen colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colors.
See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Grayscale.
Turn on both effects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these effects to just the
contents of the zoom window—see
on page 162.
