The iPhone Feature You’ll Be Glad To Know About When Doing Some Heavy Reading
While reading newspapers or magazines, have you ever come across a text that is too fine to read? Generally, people use a magnifying glass in such situations, but they don’t always have one on them. Carrying a magnifying glass with you can be inconvenient, especially if you have one that’s large. Further, not all units are sturdy, often breaking in bags, drawers, or pockets. However, you can save yourself from this hassle using another tool. Your iPhone has a hidden magnifying glass tool you likely didn’t know about.
Magnifier is a built-in app that usesyour iPhone’s camerasto zoom in on things like a fine magazine or book print. In addition, you can also use this tool to read text on billboards or road signs that are too far away to see. Even if you’re not a bookworm, knowing how to convert your iPhone into a magnifying glass can help you.

Here’s how you can open and use the digital magnifying glass on your iPhone.
Other options in the Magnifier app include switching between the rear/front camera, adding filters to the screen, and a shortcut to open the flashlight.
If you’re an avid reader, you might need the Magnifier a few times daily. In this case, you should head to the Control Center option in the Settings app, locate Magnifier in the options available under “More Controls,” and hit the plus icon to its left. Now, you may access your iPhone’s magnifying glass through the Control Center.

If you’re reading a book or magazine with a colorful background, here’s how to create a separate Magnifier profile.
Now, whenever you open the Magnifier app and activate the profile, it will automatically switch to your preferred settings.
If you wish to delete a Magnifier activity at some point, hit the cog icon toward the bottom left, select Settings, and then Activities. Here, you’ll see all the profiles you’ve created. Tap on one, scroll to the bottom, and hit “Delete Activity” to remove it permanently.
