Adjusting the size of the zoom area on the iPhone screen

I used to be able to adjust the size of the zoom area on the iPhone screen. I seem to have lost the control to do that. Does anybody where this is?


Thanks very much.

Depends on how you have Zoom set up to work.


Usually if you double tap the screen with 3 fingers and immediately drag up or down on the second tap, you can adsjust the zoom level.


If you have it set to the windowed zoom, you can tap on the handle of the lense and drag the zoom level slider left or right.


If want to change the size of the Window in Windowed zoom, tap on the lens handle to bring up the Zoom level, then swipe up to see more options , scroll until you see the "Resize Lens" option, tap on it and use the handles to resize it. Tap the lens when done to exit the resizing mode.
