When watching TikTok videos, sometimes you feel the need to zoom in. Like with photos on Facebook or Instagram, the urge to zoom on in for a closer look at background elements or other details is common. Unfortunately, the TikTok app doesn’t have a zoom-in feature. However, there are some workarounds that allow both iPhone and Android users to zoom in on another user’s clips. Here’s how to zoom in when watching TikTok videos.
How to zoom in when watching TikTok videos on iPhone
To zoom in when watching TikTok videos on iPhone, users should:
- Head to the iPhone Settings menu.
- Scroll down and select “Accessibility.”
- Click “Zoom.”
- Enable “Zoom.”
- Now double tap and hold the screen with three fingers before dragging up and down to zoom in and out.
- Move three fingers around the screen to position the zoom.
- Open TikTok and use the new zoom function to get a closer look at videos.
How to zoom in when watching TikTok videos on Android
To zoom in when watching TikTok videos on Android, users should:
- Go to the Android phone’s “Settings” menu.
- Scroll down and choose “Accessibility.”
- Select “Magnification” and enable the shortcut.
- Head to TikTok and use the Magnification shortcut that you enabled.
- Pinch to zoom in and out and drag two fingers around the screen to move the zoom point.
With the above steps, whether you’re on iPhone or Android, you’ll be able to zoom into TikTok video content. This should come in useful for those videos where the camera is a little too far away from the subject, or there are some small details that you need to zoom in and get a better look at.
