How to use zoom in iOS 7 for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

‘Zoom’ works everywhere, including the Home, Lock, Spotlight screens and even with applications you purchase from the App Store.

  • To activate the 'Accessibility' features on your device select 'Settings' + 'General' + 'Accessibility'.
  • Tap to select the ‘Zoom’ button under ‘Vision’.

  • Tap the toggle switch for ‘Zoom’.

Finger Control

Using different finger movements with Zoom you can select and magnify your iPhone, iPad or iPod screen.

  • Double-tap three fingers to zoom
  • Drag three fingers around the screen to scroll the view area
  • Do a three finger double-tap and, without taking your fingers off after the second tap, drag them up or down the screen to zoom between 100% and 500%

You can continue using the familiar flick, pinch, tap, and other iPhone, iPad and iPod gestures to run your favourite applications.
