This wikiHow teaches you how to use the two-finger pinch gesture on your iPhone or iPad to zoom in on Pinterest pins.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Pinterest on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the red icon with a white “P” inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen.
  2. 2
    Tap the pin you want to view. If the pin is not already on the screen, tap a pin on any board, or search by typing a keyword into the search bar.
  3. 3
    Place two fingers together on the image in the “pinch” position. It might be easiest to use your thumb and pointer finger.
  4. 4
    Spread your fingers apart on the screen. The motion is the opposite of a pinch. This zooms in on the photo.
  5. 5
    Pinch your fingers together. This zooms back out. You can keep pinching and reverse-pinching until you’re zoomed in to the desired level.
  6. 6
    Tap X to return to the original size. The pin now looks as it did before you zoomed in and/or out.
