Apple's built-in zoom for apps on small iPhone screens

dokwok2

In the main Hilda thread, someone asked about adding zoom for older, smaller iPhone screens. I checked, and Apple's built-in zoom works fine for this purpose. You enable it under Settings | Accessibility; instructions are in the same place.

I imagine this built-in zoom would work for almost any app.

First of all iPhone have a built in zooming for apps even on old iPhone 6 and small screen iPad . And it is a luxury too. Ode it in an apps like Moog did only for Model 15.

It is not a magic solution it work for Model 15 but you loose the global view and it make more time to create a sound design but it is the only solution with iPad screen using Model 15. Model D Moog work on a good big screen zipped no need for zooming.

Guys you need to know that an iPhone is not for using all music apps and zooming will not change things when you talk about powerful synth , serious Daw .

And for some apps like Koala, groove box etc… the GUI is fine for using with iPhone and you don’t need zoom.

Zooming is an extrem coding solution and should be used only for few apps.

The zoom control panel can be configured to appear on the screen with a double tap on the back of the phone which is super convenient and makes surgical tweaking super easy (accessibility - back tap - zoom controller)

That back tap feature is handy. I wonder, though, why Apple left it out of iPads - I would love to use it to trigger screen recording, but am iPad only, so can’t.

I knew about 3-tap zoom for a long time, and I used it on my old SE several times, problem was you can use 3-fingers tap for many musical apps, say to play a chord.
Now this back-tap zoom I don’t think I ever heard about, but seems quite handy. Thanks for bringing it up I’ll surely check
