TASK
CHANGING THE
TEXT SIZE
Pinch-to-Zoom
The above technique makes the text in most apps appear larger. If you don’t
want to make a global change just to view, for example, a single specific web
page in your internet browser, you can instead use
pinch-to-zoom
.
Remember that gesture? That’s where you use two fingers and pull them apart
or pinch them together. In a web browser, this lets you zoom in on a particular
part of the web page. It’s also used in lots of other apps, and works for pictures
as well.
