Turn Zoom on or o Â
Triple-click Home is turned o by default.
Set the Triple-click Home function: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home
and choose the function you want.
Zoom
Many iPod touch apps let you zoom in or out on specic 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 25), 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 129.
Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
