A great accessibility feature on the iPhone allows you to use your phone as a magnifier to see tiny details. There is a bit of setup:
How to turn on Magnifier
- On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Accessibility.
- Tap Magnifier, then turn it on. This adds Magnifier as an accessibility shortcut.
Quickly access Magnifier
To quickly open Magnifier:
- On an iPhone X and later, or iPad without a Home button: Triple-click the Side button. Then drag the slider to adjust the magnification level. To close Magnifier, swipe up from the bottom of your screen.
- On an iPhone 8 and earlier, and iPad models with a Home button, triple-click the Home button. Then drag the slider to adjust the magnification level. To close Magnifier, press the Home button.
You can also add Magnifier to Control Center:
- Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap Customize Controls.
- Tap the add button next to Magnifier.
Then from Control Center, tap the Magnifier button to use it.
