Your iPhone makes it easy to zoom in and take a closer look at text or photos.
And when you enable the zoom feature in your Accessibility settings, using three fingers on the screen, you can double-tap to zoom in or out, drag to move around the screen, or tap and drag to adjust the view.
Many find this helpful when reading, navigating the web, or using apps that don't offer a zoom function on photos or instructions.
However, the zoom feature can also get in the way when trying to send text messages or view pages normally.
If you prefer not to use the zoom feature, it's easy to turn it off by accessing the Settings app on your iPhone or connecting your device to iTunes on your computer.
Here's how to do it.
