Edit videos and voice memos with VoiceOver

announces the amount of time the current position will trim from the recording. Tap Play to

Zoom
Many apps let you zoom in or out on specic items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to
look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a general Zoom feature
that lets you magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing. You can zoom the entire screen
(Full Screen Zoom) or zoom part of the screen in a resizable window and leave the rest of the
screen unmagnied (Window Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.
Turn Zoom on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or use the Accessibility
Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 128 .
Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three ngers.
Adjust the magnication. Double-tap with three ngers, then drag up or down. 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. You can also triple-tap with three ngers, then drag the
Zoom Level slider in the zoom controls that appear. To limit the maximum magnication, go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Maximum Zoom Level.
Pan to see more. Drag the screen with three ngers. Or hold your nger near the edge of the
screen to pan to that side. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more quickly.
