Windows Phone 8: Zoom the Screen In or Out

If you forget to carry your glasses, using your Windows Phone 8 with small text will be a problem. Luckily, you can use the magnifier to zoom the screen in and out to enlarge small text and make content clearer.

The screen magnifier feature of Windows Phone 8 is useful for people who are farsighted. However, using this feature only when necessary is recommended. This is because not all content is available for viewing in zoom mode. Some texts may become blurry at a high zoom level.

1. Access the Settings section of the phone from the app list or the live tile.

5. To deactivate this feature, simply move the slider to the left.
