5. Double Tap: Zoom in and center a block of content or an image; then same to zoom out.
6. Pinch: Open to zoom in, pinch close to zoom out.
7. Touch and Hold: In selectable text, shows a magnified view for cursor positioning.

Developers should avoid associating different actions with standard gestures, and avoid creating custom gestures that do the same thing as a standard gesture. This helps to reduce confusion within apps and ensures a consistent user experience with iOS.
