how to adjust zoom level on XR?

Hey there mikehende,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like you may be wanting to use the Zoom feature in the Accessibility settings. For steps on how to set up and use the Zoom feature, check out this link here: Zoom in on the iPhone screen - Apple Support

Set up Zoom

1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Zoom.

2. Adjust any of the following:

- Follow Focus: Track your selections, the text insertion point, and your typing.

- Smart Typing: Switch to Window Zoom when a keyboard appears.

- Keyboard Shortcuts: Control Zoom using shortcuts on an external keyboard.

- Zoom Controller: Turn the controller on, set controller actions, and adjust the color and opacity.

- Zoom Region: Choose Full Screen Zoom or Window Zoom.

- Zoom Filter: Choose None, Inverted, Grayscale, Grayscale Inverted, or Low Light.

- Maximum Zoom Level: Drag the slider to adjust the level.

3. If you use iPhone with a pointer device, you can also set the following below Pointer Control:

- Zoom Pan: Choose Continuous, Centered, or Edges to set how the screen image moves with the pointer.

- Adjust Size with Zoom: Allow the pointer to scale with zoom.

4. To add Zoom to Accessibility Shortcut, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap Zoom.

Use Zoom

1. Double-tap the screen with three fingers or use accessibility shortcuts to turn on Zoom.

2. To see more of the screen, do any of the following:

- Adjust the magnification: Double-tap the screen with three fingers (without lifting your fingers after the second tap), then drag up or down. Or triple-tap with three fingers, then drag the Zoom Level slider.

- Move the Zoom lens: (Window Zoom) Drag the handle at the bottom of the Zoom lens.

- Pan to another area: (Full Screen Zoom) Drag the screen with three fingers.

3. To adjust the settings with the Zoom menu, triple-tap with three fingers, then adjust any of the following:

Hey there mikehende, 

You previously mentioned the Magnifier app, but were unable to locate it. Let's see if Magnifier is able to suit your needs.

Use Magnifier on your iPhone or iPad   

"Find and open the Magnifier app

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Magnifier app. If you don't see the Magnifier app, on the Home Screen, swipe down and search for Magnifier.

"Quickly access Magnifier

If you use Magnifier frequently, you can create an Accessibility Shortcut to open it with the triple-click of a button. You can also add Magnifier to Control Center for easier access.
