Zoom
Many iPod touch apps let you zoom in or out on specic elements. For example, you can
double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari.
Zoom is also a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any app
you’re using, to help you see what’s on the display.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see “Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard” on
page 26), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
Turn Zoom on or o: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use Triple-click Home.
See “Triple-click Home” on page 12 8 .
Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out Double-tap the screen with three ngers. By default, the screen is magnied
200 percent. If you manually change the magnication (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to
that magnication when you zoom in by double-tapping with three ngers.
Increase magnication With three ngers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to
increase magnication) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnication). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except
you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead, drag your ngers on
the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger.
Move around the screen When zoomed in, drag or ick the screen with three ngers. Once you start
dragging, you can drag with a single nger so that you can see more of
the screen. Hold a single nger near the edge of the display to pan to that
side of the screen image. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more
quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle
of the screen.
