Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three ngers.
Vary the magnication. Double-tap with three ngers, then drag up or down. The tap-and-drag
gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead,
drag your ngers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger.
iPhone returns to the adjusted magnication when you zoom in again using the three-nger
double-tap.
Pan to see more. Drag the screen with three ngers. Or, hold your nger near the edge of the
screen to pan to that side. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more quickly.
Switch between Full Screen Zoom and Window Zoom. Tap once with three ngers, 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). Tap once with three ngers, 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. Turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Show Controller,
or tap once with three ngers then choose Show Controller. Then you can double-tap the
oating 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. Turn on Settings > 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, turn on Follow Focus, then turn o Zoom Keyboard. When you zoom in
while typing (in Messages or Notes, for example), the text you type is magnied while all of the
keyboard remains visible.
Display the magnied part of the screen in grayscale or inverted color. Tap once with three
ngers, then tap Choose Filter in the zoom controls that appear. Tap again to turn o the eect.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on
page 26), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
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. Turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > Grayscale.
Turn on both eects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these eects to just the
contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 152.
