Adjust the magnication. 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. You can also triple-tap with three ngers, then drag
the Zoom Level slider in the controls that appear. To limit the maximum magnication, go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Maximum Zoom Level.
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. Triple-tap 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). Triple-tap 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. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Show
Controller, or triple-tap 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. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on 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 magnied while all of the
keyboard remains visible.
Display the magnied part of the screen in grayscale or inverted color. Triple-tap with three
ngers, then tap Choose Filter in the zoom controls that appear.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on
page 30), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
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, then turn on Invert Colors.
See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
Turn on both eects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these eects to just the
contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 15 0 .
