Is there a way to pinch to zoom in on something in iPhone Mirroring app on a Mac, with a mouse?
Whenever I google, it seems like every answer is telling you to pinch and zoom on your trackpad. But I'm on a Mac mini with a mighty mouse, not trackpad. And I can't see any way to pinch and zoom in. And I really need to be able to do that to see the objects I'm trying to look at.
Is there a way?
Mac mini, macOS 15.7
Does 'Command - +/-' does it as you'd like?
Nope, that zooms in on your entire Mac screen, it doesn't do anything to individual windows or the contents within them.

Interesting! I have a MacBook, and I don't use a mouse at all, so I'm not sure. But do you have a scroll wheel? If so may be able to use System Settings>Accessibility>Zoom
to set "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom." The next line lets you choose control or command or option with the scroll wheel to zoom.
This may only be a Mac display zoom-- but maybe it's worth a try…
No, that makes the iphone mirroring window on the Mac bigger and smaller. I'm trying to zoom in to items on the iphone's screen the way you would by pinching and zooming with your hand on the iphone screen.
Is it correct that this is a 20 year old Mouse? No wheel?
I'd tell Apple that this is a problem. Maybe they don't know? There is no specific Mighty Mouse page, but you could go to the Magic Mouse Feedback site--it also does not have a wheel, so this might work:
Feedback - Magic Mouse - Apple
And/or you could go to the Mac Mini Feedback site:
I'd be tempted to go to Apple Support with your question:
They're very friendly and helpful, but it may take a while to get through on a phone call.
Maybe they'll throw something in for the next OS…
It is not a 20 year old mouse, it is the current apple magic mouse with 'scroll back'. But I'm not trying to zoom in on MY whole Mac screen, I'm trying to zoom in on objects on the phone's screen, as if i was pinching and zooming ON THE PHONE. But through iphone mirroring.

When asking for or providing technical support, terms matter. If you don't know the specific model, describe when you bought it or post a picture. That will help people to give you the answers you need.

I get that-- you had said "I'm on a Mac mini with a mighty mouse," so I didn't take it as "the current apple magic mouse"
Oh, grr whatever apple calls their current mouse.
