One TikToker shared a handy tip on how to turn an iPhone into a magnifying glass

The instant trick was shared in January by a TikToker with the handle @Techhackguy.

The creator began the video by saying “here’s another iPhone trick I guarantee you didn’t know about,” while displaying his iPhone.

The TikTok user then showed himself going into his iPhone’s ‘Settings’ to access the tool.

Once in settings, he scrolled all the way down to ‘Accessibility Shortcuts.’

After he did that, he located ‘Magnifier in the options and tapped on that.

The TikToker then triple-pressed the lock button (located on the right side of your iPhone).

The phone then displayed a camera with a zoom slider.

“You will now be able to zoom in more than you can on ‘Camera’,” the TikTok video’s creator said.

The TikTok post has gotten a lot of love since it went live, garnering more than 56,000 ‘likes’ and dozens of comments from fellow TikTokers.

“Oh! That’s cool,” one TikTok user exclaimed.

“Thank you, my mum is starting to lose her vision this will be perfect for her,” a second user added.

“We never open accessibility that’s why we don t know about them,” a third user remarked.
