    Zoom (an accessibility feature) can also be used to magnify the content of the watch's display.

     

    • To enable Zoom:
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - turn on.
      • Or on your watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - tap and turn on.

     

    • If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for Zoom, you can also enable and disable the feature by quickly pressing the Digital Crown (round button) three times.

     

    • To configure the Accessibility Shortcut:
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom) > select / deselect Zoom.

     

    Once Zoom has been enabled, to magnify the contents of the display:

     

    • To zoom in or out:
      • Double-tap the screen with two fingers.

     

    • To move around the screen (pan):
      • Drag the display with two fingers.
      • Or turn the Digital Crown to pan over the entire screen, left-right and up-down.
      • A small Zoom button indicates your location on the page.

     

    • To use the Digital Crown normally (instead of panning):
      • Tap the display once with two fingers to switch between using the Digital Crown to pan and as it would normally work without using Zoom (for example, to scroll up or down a list).

     

    • To adjust the magnification level:
      • Double-tap and hold with two fingers, then drag your fingers up or down on the display.
      • To limit magnification, on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Zoom - drag the Maximum Zoom Level slider.
