Hi all,  I know there are apps to do this, but thought there was a way of doing it without downloading an app,

I have a Smart phone 6,

Hi @widgetwilk39

 

It should be possible to so something like this with the Android Accessibility options. I know they have a triple tap gesture to magnify a potion of the screen, there's also the option to increase text size across the system

 

More info and setup guides can be found at: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6006564?hl=en-GB

I know where you can magnifiy the screen, but I thought you could use the phone as a magnifying glass,

think I might have to look at the apps if no one comes up with a better idea.

thanks Nabs

Ah, I misunderstood, Sorry @widgetwilk39

 

I've personally not heard of this being possible without an app to be honest... some other forum members may have come across something though. :smileyhappy:

Yes there are apps for that. 

 

Some free too.

Hi. Can you not just put your camera on then zoom in?

Yes camera could work like that, have downloaded an app, will try that,

thanks for help, it must be the Apple phone that I have seen that it works on,

There is an app actually called MAGNIFIER 😃
it's the one with a green symbol although I am not actually sure what sort of magnification you require there is the one that will help with small text on screen and by sliding your finger along a bubble will appear above with the larger text and the other one uses the camera

Tried that app, was not what I excepted,

still, thank you all for your help again, [where would I be with-out you]

thank you and not sure how to close this topic,
