Steps
-
1Open Google Photos. It’s the multicolored pinwheel icon labeled “Photos.” You’ll typically find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
-
2Tap the image you want to see larger. The full image will now appear.Advertisement
-
3Press your thumb and a finger together on the screen and pull them apart. Think of this motion as the opposite of a pinch. This enlarges an area of the image.
- Repeat the reverse-pinch gesture to zoom in further.
- While the image is zoomed-in, you can move it around by dragging it with one finger.
-
4Pinch two fingers together to zoom out. This zooms out so you can see more of the image. Continue pinching until the image returns to its normal size.Advertisement
