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 fingers
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 fingers 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
