How do I control the Zoom on my iPad screen?

You can control the Zoom feature on your iPad screen primarily by using specific three-finger gestures to activate and adjust magnification.

How to Control Zoom on Your iPad Screen

The iPad's built-in Zoom accessibility feature allows you to magnify sections of your screen for improved visibility. Controlling this feature involves both enabling it and adjusting its magnification level.

1. Turning On Zoom

To activate the Zoom feature on your iPad screen:

• Three-Finger Double-Tap: The most direct way is to double-tap the screen with three fingers. This action will instantly zoom in on your current screen view.
• Accessibility Shortcut: Alternatively, if you have configured an Accessibility Shortcut for Zoom in your iPad's Settings, you can use that shortcut to toggle the feature on or off.

2. Adjusting Magnification

Once Zoom is active, you can easily change how much the screen is magnified:

• Three-Finger Double-Tap and Drag: To adjust the magnification level, double-tap the screen with three fingers. Crucially, do not lift your fingers after the second tap.
• While your three fingers remain on the screen, drag them up or down. Dragging your fingers up will increase the magnification (zoom in further), and dragging them down will decrease the magnification (zoom out).
