Here’s how to enable it:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Magnifier.
2. Slide the option to ON.

Now exit Settings, and then triple-tap the Home Button to activate it.  When enabled, a user can activate the magnifier from anywhere on the device – even from the lock screen.

Things you can do with the Magnifier:

• Snap a photo.
• Zoom-in.
• Look focus.
• Use the flash as a light.
• Adjust the color of the screen.
• Invert the view (doing so will show a different user’s interface (UI)).

This feature is for those with visual impairments or need something extra to see fine print.
