1 min read
Summary
The iPhone’s Magnifier app allows users to increase the size of objects or text to make them easier to see or read
This can be used to decipher unreadable labels on medicine bottles, find dust in hard-to-reach places, and detect tiny splinters or cuts on the skin
The Magnifier app can also be used as a creative tool for kids, allowing them to explore and inspect bugs, leaves, and bark textures via close-up images
It can also help detect leftover stickers and residue, as well as document flaws for customer support when returning defective items
The app is convenient for reading serial numbers and model info on devices, spotting fine fabric damage or stains, and capturing photos without saving them in the Photos app
Users can use the Magnifier to read cooking instructions without squinting, benefiting those with microscopic cooking instructions or expiration dates
