Zooming In or Out
When viewing photos, webpages, email, or maps, you can zoom in and out. Pinch your
ngers together or apart. For photos and webpages, you can 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 ngers 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 “Zoom” on page 203.
Viewing in Portrait or Landscape Orientation
Many iPod touch apps let you view the screen in either portrait or landscape
orientation. Rotate iPod touch and the display rotates too, adjusting automatically to
t the new screen orientation.
You may prefer landscape orientation for viewing webpages in Safari, or when
entering text, for example. In landscape orientation:
Webpages scale to the wider screen, making the text and images larger. Â
The onscreen keyboard is larger, which may help increase your typing speed Â
and accuracy.
