How to Zoom an Apple Watch Out?

Published in Apple Watch Tips 2 mins read

To zoom out on an Apple Watch, double-tap the display with two fingers.

Zoom on the Apple Watch magnifies the screen to make it easier to see. It's an accessibility feature. If you have accidentally zoomed in, or just want to zoom out, the process is simple:

  • Double-tap: Lightly tap the Apple Watch screen twice in quick succession, using two fingers. This action toggles the zoom, zooming out if you are currently zoomed in.

If double-tapping doesn't work, you might need to check your Zoom settings:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. Tap Zoom.
  4. Ensure Zoom is turned on. If it is on, try turning it off and back on again. Also, confirm the "Follow Focus" option's behavior.

Sometimes, issues can arise. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure your fingers are making solid contact with the screen.
  • Try double-tapping a bit faster.
  • Restart your Apple Watch. This can often resolve temporary glitches. To restart, press and hold the side button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider to turn off your watch. Then, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.
