Zoom

Many apps let you zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a Zoom accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any app you’re using. You can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.

Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 127.

Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

Vary the magnification. With three fingers, tap and drag up or down. The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger. iPhone returns to the adjusted magnification when you zoom out and in again using the three-finger double-tap.

Pan around the screen. While zoomed in, drag the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can continue with just one finger. Or, hold a single finger near the edge of the screen to pan to that side. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom goes to the upper-middle of the screen.

While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 27), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.

Invert Colors

Sometimes, inverting the colors on the iPhone screen may make it easier to read. When Invert Colors is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.

Invert the screen’s colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colors.

Speak Selection

Even with VoiceOver turned off, you can have iPhone read aloud any text you select. iPhone analyzes the text to determine the language, then reads it to you using the appropriate pronunciation.

Turn on Speak Selection. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection. There you can also:

Choose a language, dialect, and voice quality Adjust the speaking rate

Choose to have individual words highlighted as they’re read

Have text read to you. Select the text, then tap Speak.

Speak Auto-text

Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPhone makes when you type. Turn Speak Auto-text on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Auto-text.

Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver and Zoom.
