Magnify the iPad screen with Display Zoom

In this video, we’re going to take a look at how we can magnify our iPad screen with Display Zoom. Display Zoom basically allows us to show larger controls while standard shows us more content. Now, before we go and take a look at my iPad. This Display Zoom is only available on the iPad pro 12.9 inch.

So if you have a different iPad, you will not have this option. This is only available on the larger iPads. Let’s TK. Look at, displays them. Let’s go to my iPad. So when we look at my iPad here, let’s take a look at these icons. I’m using the standard zoom. So this is what it looks like by standard. When we look at this.

Let’s go and take a look at the space in between these two icons here. You can see that my cursor here is just fits between the notes and numbers icon, the app icons here. So this is the standard zoom. When I zoom in or use Display Zoom, what it’s going to do is it’s going to make these elements a little bit larger, which means that that space between these two icons here is going to get a little bit tighter.

They’re going to move a little bit closer together because it’s zooming. When we go over to my settings app and we look at all my settings here on the left side, when I zoom in, I’m not going to be able to see as many settings here because I’m zooming in. So how do we zoom in, how do we use this?

Displays them? How do we turn it on? Well, all we really need to do is just go over to our display and brightness while we’re in the settings. And then over on the right, we scroll all the way up and you’re going to see Display Zoom. Again, you will not see this. If you’re using a smaller iPad, this is only available on the iPad pro 12.9 inch.

If we go over to the right, you’re going to see that it says standard by default, it’s going to be the standard view. Let’s go and change it to our zoomed view and see how it changes our iPad. So now I click on this and you’re going to see we have standard. And then we also have. Zoomed. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to go with zoomed here.

I tap on set in the upper right-hand corner. I confirm it. It is going to reboot my iPad, but it happens relatively quickly. Here. You can see it’s rebooting and there’s my iPad. So it does happen quickly. So now my iPad is zoom. Let’s take a look at those app icons again. So now I just go back over to my home screen and we have my notes and numbers.

Remember when my circle there was just in between those two API cons. If we look now, you can see that it’s overlapping them. Everything is zoomed in the app. Icons are a little bit larger. Notifications are going to be a little bit louder. My conversations and messages are going to be a little bit larger.

Also when we go over to my settings app and we look at my settings here, we can see that everything is a zoomed in just a little bit now to get to my display and brightness settings. I didn’t have to scroll before. If we look, I have to scroll it is now below my display there. So I have to scroll up.

That is because it is zoomed in. So everything is just a little bit larger. It’s zoom. Let’s go and turn it off and we’ll take another quick look at this cause we can easily do this in a does happen relatively quickly, even though it does reboot it. So now I go over to my display and brightness and then we swipe up, we’re going to go to view here and I’m going to go to standard.

We set it and your standard, it’s going to reboot and we can see that everything is zoomed out a little bit. Look at all the space we have over here. With that card from the right to the card, worse talks about our Display Zoom, look at all the space between our app icons. And then when we go back into our settings and we go to zoomed, watch what happens this card here, the edge of this card here is going to be over to the right cause everything’s zoomed in.

So now I go over to zoomed. We go to set you zoomed reboots, and now you can see that everything is largely. My app icons are larger. Everything is zoomed in. So that is Display Zoom on the iPad. Again, only available on the larger iPads, the 12.9 inch iPad pro to use Display Zoom. You just go into the settings app and then under display and brightness, you’ll see Display Zoom, you’ll have two options standard or zoomed.

If you want everything to be just a little bit larger used the. This is how I have mine set, I usually leave mine at zoomed because I want everything a little bit larger. I wear readers as you can see. So it just makes it a little bit easier to use the iPad. So that’s how we use Display Zoom on the iPad.
