To turn on Magnifier, on your iPhone or iPad, just go to Settings > Control Center, scroll down to ‘More Controls’ and tap ‘Magnifier.’

To use Magnifier, enter Control Center then tap the Magnifier icon. Then just point your iPhone or iPad camera and tap the freeze frame image. You will then be able to zoom in and manipulate your photo. This is great when you’re trying to read a menu at a restaurant but forget your glasses.
