Zooming in or out

Depending on the app, you may be able to zoom in to enlarge, or zoom out to reduce the

image on the screen. When viewing photos, webpages, mail, or maps, for example, pinch two

ngers together to zoom out or spread them apart to zoom in. For photos and webpages, you

can also 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 entire screen of any app you’re
