Zoom iPhone X display like iPhone 7?

Try to send a feedback on Feedback - iPhone - Apple

The more requests Apple receives, the more probable is to get the feature back.

I already did submit a feedback, after having tried to get a workaround on this.

Until now all I could find was a partial display zoom.

So the more requests we send, the better.

Telling us what you think Apple needs to do is pointless. We are not Apple and they aren't here. We're users and to be honest, it's fine with us if you give your phone back.

If you want to let Apple know how you feel, this is the link to provide feedback: Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Subject: bring DisplayZoom view:Zoomed to X

Feedback type: Design / ease of use

The biggest thing I miss on my iPhone X is Display Zoom: Zoomed in System Settings. Ability to make my entire iOS experience shown in larger font and icon sizes is the only reason I seriously consider to downgrade to the previous-generation device (iPhone 8 Plus).

And the request seem to be extremely popular on Discussions.Apple.com: only one example is https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8145576

I'm glad somebody else has this question. I actually haven't activated my iPhone X yet for this reason. I have used this feature on every plus phone I have owned. It's the first thing I change when setting up a phone. I am very disappointed that it isn't an option on the X. I am considering returning it at this point and sticking with my current 7 plus.

Actually, I think it is available. If you go to Setings > Accessibility > Zoom, you'll see there is a slider bar at the bottom where you can scale the amount of zoom you want. Then on your home screen, double tap the screen with three fingers and the icons will increase in size by the scale you set in settings.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Not necessarily a deal breaker but close. If enough of us ask about it, maybe they will bring it back in 11.3.

I looked back at my 6s Plus in standard mode and said "no way". I kept it on zoomed mode even when I had a 6s. Apple, if your listening, please bring back zoom view in a future iOS update.

I think it will be one of the most requested features. At least I hope.

No one here works for Apple so we can't answer your question. Use the link provided above to let Apple know if you want this feature back in a future update.

Actually this is not an issue of the iPhone X. The display zoom is not included in all devices that have iOS 11 installed.

Hopefully it will brought back with future updates of 11, if many requests are sent to Apple, in order to remind them of this useful feature.😝

Hi Joshua,

Can you share more info? It seems that in 6/7 PLUS, the zoom view was in display and you could turn it to view or standard. In iPhone X, it seems the zoom setting is in Accessiblity. Are the features of the function the same or different. My question is how can a user turn off the Display Zoom? Because it seems that it is not an option for X users to view in Standard or Zoomed mode. I think the Zoom setting in Accessibility must do something else. Can you comment further?

This is not true. I have "Display Zoom" running on my gen 2 12.9 inch iPad Pro which has IOS 11 installed. It was missing when the new 12.9 was released running IOS 10 but the feature returned when IOS 11 was released. Hopefully this may bode well for the iPhone x getting this feature. I have an X and want this feature!!!

I have larger hands and fingers and it's hard for me to type on the phone: Not only are the icons smaller on the iPhone X than on the 7+/8+, the keyboard is smaller too! I have more trouble seeing AND typing on the "larger" screen of the iPhone X.

BRING BACK ZOOM in the next system update please!

Incorrect. I have a 6S running 11.1.2 and it has the Display Zoom feature. And I have kept it at "Zoomed" since I got my previous iPhone 6, have kept it with my 6S, and really want it with the X. It's a big enough deal that it may be a deal breaker resulting in me returning the phone for an 8.

No there is not. i am seriously annoyed about this.
