    Pixel and Samsung have built-in magnifier apps. Search Magnifier in Settings.

    3. Use the camera

    Even without the app, open the camera and pinch to zoom. Works at any restaurant.

    4. Brighten

    Turn on the flashlight. Helps in dim restaurants and pharmacies.

    5. Color filters

    Some magnifiers add high-contrast colors. Helps with low vision.

    6. Add to control center

    iPhone — Settings, Control Center. Add Magnifier so you can swipe down anywhere.

    Snap a photo of fine print, then pinch zoom. Easier than holding the phone steady.
