iPhone Tip: Easier, "one finger" zooming without pinching
Submitted by Chad Shmukler on
Though it is often sufficient in Safari, Google Maps, etc, to double-tap in order to zoom in and out - often you need to be able to control your zooming more accurately.
The instructed method of accomplishing such is to use the two fingered "pinch" motion. Pinching your fingers together zooms the display out, while pulling your pinched fingers apart zooms the display in. We've found that this motion can often be a little clumsy, especially for those of us with iPhones that are protected by screen protectors and/or cases.
