This wikiHow teaches you how to zoom in on a Facebook photo using your fingers.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad. The Facebook icon looks like a white "f" in a blue box on your device's Home screen.
    • If you're not automatically logged into Facebook on your device, you will have to enter your email or phone and your password.
  2. 2
    Find the photo you want to zoom in. This could be a photograph on your timeline, one of your profile pictures, a photo posted by a friend, or an image shared in a group.
  3. 3
    Tap on the photo. This will open the photo in full-screen, image-viewer mode.
    • If you're opening a photo in a post with multiple images, you will first tap on the full set of pictures to open them in a list, and then tap a photo again to open it in image-viewer mode.
  4. 4
    Pinch out on the photo with two fingers. Tap on the photo with two fingers and move your fingers apart to zoom in on a detail.
  5. 5
    Double tap on the photo. This will zoom back out on the image, and you will see the entire photo in full-screen mode.
  6. 6
    Tap the "X" button. This button is located in the upper-left corner of your screen. It will quit the image-viewer mode.
