Turn the phone into a magnifier
Read a menu, a label or a meter without hunting for your glasses.
Magnifier uses the phone camera to enlarge whatever you point it at, live, on the screen.
It will also hold one picture still, so you can put the bottle down and read.
Key points
- Magnifier enlarges whatever the camera is pointed at, as you point it
- Freeze holds the picture so you can read with your arm down
What to remember
- Freezing the picture is the part people wish they had known.
- Zoom to enlarge. Freeze to read at your leisure.
Try this
Open Magnifier on your own phone and aim it at the back of a jar.
