How to activate the zoom option on Instagram for iPhone or iPad
Instagram is the most popular photographic social network of the moment . The idea is very simple, share images in a square format with "vintage" filters that imitate the results of some old cameras. Like any social network, we can add friends and interact with them, giving "likes", commenting on their photos or tagging them. Instagram also connects to other networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr or Tumblr so that we can also share the content on the rest of our profiles.The application has become more and more complete but there is still a feature that is missing, and that is allowing us to do zoom on the images. Instagram only allows us to do scroll on the screen, but you can't even enlarge the images with the classic pinch gesture nor can they be stored in the camera roll. The main reason is that the resolution of the images is not very high, but they do allow an enlargement beyond the small screen of our mobile. If you have Instagram on iPhone or iPad yes, you can zoom in on photos with a little trick, we'll tell you how to do it.
iOS, the mobile system of the iPhone andiPad, has a menu of Accessibility where they have several options for users with mobility problems, hearing or sight.What you have to do is activate the zoom function in the system itself to be able to zoom in on Instagram photos, but it is also valid for any other application. First we go to the menu Settings and enter the General section Here we have to enter the Accessibility menuand access the Zoom section, which is the second entry that appears. All you have to do is activate the box and the option to enlarge the screen will work. Keep in mind that this feature enlarges the screen completely,that is, it will not only enlarge the Instagram image, but also the application menus and even the content of the status bar, as if we were looking through a magnifying glass.
The operation of the iOS zoom option is simple. If we want to enlarge the screen we must make a double tap with three fingers at the same time.This gesture is designed so that we do not do it accidentally. When the screen is already enlarged we can move around it also dragging with three fingers. When finished, double-tap with three fingers again and it returns to the normal state . Apple also allows us to adjust the zoom level, but in this case you have to double-tap with three fingers and hold, without releasing we pinch to adjust the frame as we want. If you have an iPhone or iPad with JailbreakThere are applications that do allow a real zoom within Instagram, but if you don't have a Jailbreak this solution does the job.
