How to always zoom in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Do you have trouble reading small text while browsing the web? Learn how to set up automatic web page zoom for all or specific websites in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Sometimes, you may have trouble reading text on specific websites because those sites use tiny font sizes. And if you have a weak eyesight, you may have this trouble on all websites. To address this, you can adjust the font size in Safari. But this isn’t always enough. Maybe the webpage you’re visiting has images that you want to view bigger. Or perhaps the site size overall is just too small.

There’s a wonderful accessibility feature for Safari on both Mac and iOS that lets you zoom to a particular percentage on all sites you visit or only those where you need it. We’ll show you how to enable zoom in Safari in this tutorial.

On iPhone and iPad

For a specific website.

• Open Safari and visit the website whose text size you want to increase.
• Tap the AA button from the address bar.
• Tap the bigger A to increase the text size. 100% is the default .

For all websites

• Open Settings and tap Safari .
• Scroll down and tap Page Zoom.
• Here, you’ll see the specific websites whose text size you have changed following the earlier set of steps. To change one, tap it and choose a new zoom percentage. You can also edit the list of sites on this screen. Tap Edit at the top and then Delete or Clear All Settings .
• After specific sites, there is a heading for Other Websites . Here, you can choose a default percentage for all other pages you visit in Safari that isn’t already on your list. Pick a percentage from 50% to 300%.

• Visit the site in Safari.
• Press the Command + Plus (+) keys to increase the page size.
• Or, click Safari next to the top Apple icon and choose Settings for the website name . Now, use the Page Zoom option to set it to an appropriate percentage.

• Open Safari and click Safari > Settings from the top menu bar.
• Go to the Websites tab.
• Select Page Zoom from the left sidebar.
• Here, you will see your configured websites and currently open websites where you’re using page zoom. You can change their zoom level or remove them.
• To set zoom for all other websites you visit that are not already on your list, click the drop-down menu next to “ When visiting other websites ” and pick a level from as low as 50 percent or as high as 300 percent.

Using zoom in Safari is a super simple way to see websites and pages larger and more clearly. And because the setting is so easy to access on all your devices, you can change it back at any time. Just follow the above steps and set the zoom level to 100%, which is the default.

Is the zoom feature in Safari something you’ve tried and would recommend, or are you going to give it a shot for the first time?

How to Use the Zoom App on an iPhone & iPad

Zoom is a web and app-based service that offers the ability to chat, make a phone call, host a webinar, create a virtual conference room, and host or join online audio and video meetings with people around the world. You can use Zoom on your iPhone and iPad to audio or video chat between two people or with a group of up to one hundred. Zoom works for both Android and iPhone, PC, and Mac, so all your contacts can communicate.

We've written a Zoom troubleshooting guide for audio , a Zoom troubleshooting guide for video and freezing , and a guide for looking good in Zoom calls . For more great Zoom tutorials, check out our free Tip of the Day . Now, let's get started learning how to use Zoom, including how to download, create a Zoom account, log in, participate in meetings, use a Zoom background, and all the Zoom features and settings you need to know to navigate the platform successfully. 

• System Requirements
• Download & Install Zoom & Create an Account

How to Join a Zoom Meeting

• How to Create a Personal Meeting ID (PMI)

How to Host a Scheduled Zoom Meeting

• Extra Zoom Settings & Features (Screen Sharing, Chat, Zoom Backgrounds, Siri Shortcuts & More) 

Zoom System Requirements: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch includes the following features and software, you can use it with Zoom.

iPhone 3GS with no front-facing camera, iPhone 4 and later, iPod Touch 4th generation and later, iPad 2 or later, iPad Pro, iPad mini

iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running iOS 8 or later.

iPad running iPadOS 13 or later.

Safari 5+ or Chrome

1 GHz or greater single-core processor (non-Intel)

Zoom can automatically adjust for Wi-Fi or 3G. If you're connecting via Wi-Fi, you'll need:

• 600kbps for one-to-one calls with high video quality and 1.2 Mbps for HD calls.
• 600kbps or 1.2Mbps for group calls with high video quality. 1.5Mbps to use gallery view in group calls.

If you're not sure if your internet speed is adequate, there are lots of different speed tests available online. Some popular options include  Fast  and  Ookla .

How to Download & Install Zoom & Create a Zoom Account on an iPhone & iPad

If you want to install and use Zoom on your iPhone or iPad, visit the App Store and download Zoom Cloud Meetings (Free). If you're new to this, check out our tip on how to download apps . Once you've downloaded and opened the Zoom app, it's time to create an account.

You'll set up a password, which you can save to your iCloud Keychain. If you need to  enable your iCloud Keychain , we have a tip on how to do that.

The Zoom app will ask if it can send notifications and access your calendar, to help you schedule and remember your meetings. You'll also have the option to enable Zoom to use Siri, so you can use Siri to start your Zoom calls. If your device has Touch ID or Face ID enabled, you'll have the option to sign in with these features. 

If someone else has set up a Zoom meeting, there's more than one way to join, since there is more than one way to be invited. If you've received an invitation via email or text message, click the Zoom link included, and follow the prompts. You need to enter a password if one was included. If you don't have a link, but have the Meeting ID, follow the steps below.   

*Note: Many people get confused during Zoom calls because icons disappear from your display if you haven't touched it in a while. Just tap your screen once, and all the controls will reappear. *

How to Create a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to Set Up Scheduled or Instant Zoom Meetings 

Zoom offers two types of meetings, Scheduled or Instant. If you need to host either type of Zoom meeting, set up a Personal Meeting ID (PMI). Using a PMI sets up a virtual meeting room that's always available at that address (PMI). This virtual meeting room will always be accessible using its link and PMI, so people you share this login information with can join meetings in this Personal Meeting room at any time. Personal Meeting IDs are also handy because you can customize audio, video, recording, and security settings as needed for each of your PMIs, and not have to start from scratch before each meeting. 

If you have several different types of meetings to conduct, such as one for friends and another for family, or one for your clients and another for the executive team, you'll want to set up a separate virtual meeting room with its own PMI for each one. Also, be sure to only share the link and PMI with people who need to join that particular meeting.

Don't use a PMI that you want to use for personal or work meetings for a public event where you share the Zoom link on, say, social media. Anyone who saves that link can enter your meeting room at any time after that, and share it with others, who can crash your meeting as well. You'll find instructions below for how to password protect your Zoom meeting rooms, but even so, if someone you invited shares the link and password with people you didn't invite, things can quickly get out of hand.

Here are instructions for setting a meeting room with a Personal Meeting ID.

You can now use this PMI for future meetings, whether scheduled or instant. You can invite more people later, set a meeting password, and change multiple other audio, video, and security settings as needed. 

You can start a scheduled meeting with a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) you previously created, or without one. To do this:

• When it's time for your meeting to begin, tap Start next to its Meeting ID on your Zoom Home screen.

How to Edit Personal Meeting Room Settings

To edit your meeting settings before the meeting starts:

When you toggle on Require Meeting Password , a field will appear where you can enter a password every meeting member will need to enter before entering the virtual meeting room.

Toggle on Enable Waiting Room , and Zoom creates a page where participants wait until you, the moderator, approves them to join.

Allow Join Before Host enables meeting invitees to enter the virtual meeting room before the host does.

Automatically Record Meeting allows the host to choose the location where a copy of the Zoom meeting will be stored. 

Extra Zoom Settings & Features 

How to share your screen on zoom.

You can screen share your iPhone or iPad display during a Zoom meeting to another  iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Follow the steps above for starting a Zoom meeting, then invite participants and share invitations as usual. From here:

As you can see from the second screenshot, you can do far more with this Share icon than just screen share. Use this feature to share photos, content from your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more. 

For more detailed steps and screenshots, check out our comprehensive  screen sharing guide , which includes a step-by-step Zoom tutorial.

How to Chat During a Meeting  

Another useful and fun Zoom feature is the chat option. To access this feature:

As with the Share icon, the More icon leads to many other meeting options. 

In addition to using backgrounds, you can also get fancy with filters. Learn how to look good on Zoom using the  Touch Up My Appearance feature .

Siri Shortcuts & Zoom 

Siri and Zoom go great together; you can set up shortcuts to view your meetings that day, join your next scheduled meeting, or start a personal meeting. For this to work, you'll need to have Hey Siri enabled on your iPhone or iPad. To set up a Siri Shortcut on your device:

To use your shortcut, just say, " Hey, Siri ", then use the phrase you recorded for the Siri Shortcut you chose.

How's It Going with Zoom so Far?

I hope this guide has helped you get started with Zoom, and increase your comfort level with the app. Let me know if I missed anything (to do with the iPhone or iPad), and I'll see how I can help.

Yeah, looks like they all do that, so it’s a phone thing, not browser specific?

Nov 30, 2022 7:50 AM in response to PS_SliP

has this always been the case or is this a recent change? If so, then try going into settings general, and then reset settings and see if that helps. If not, if this is always been the case, then this is probably how the website developer has coded their pages to behave with certain screen sizes

Nov 30, 2022 7:10 AM in response to PS_SliP

does this occur on all webpages that have an edit form?

Nov 30, 2022 7:17 AM in response to HarSar17

Ones that I’ve tried - yes. What I understood reading some articles is that this happens when text is <16px in size.

edit: doesn’t happen here, but I guess it’s due to above.

Nov 30, 2022 7:21 AM in response to PS_SliP

have you tried viewing those pages with chrome or Firefox? And does it behave in the same way?

Visiting Oranienbaum and Lomonosov

Oranienbaum is perhaps the least visited of St. Petersburg's suburban palaces, despite the rich and unique treasures it has to offer. This can partly be attributed to the decades of neglect that have left most of the buildings in critical condition and allowed the park to be overrun by nature. Thankfully, the estate has now come under the auspices of Peterhof's management, and a massive renovation programme is already underway. For the next several years, however, it will be necessary to check which parts of the park and which buildings are currently open to the public.

Oranienbaum is only 12km along the coast from Peterhof, so it is possible for those with some stamina to combine the two in a single daytrip. A marshrutka minibus (K-348) connects the two estates. From St. Petersburg it is possible to take a minibus (K-300) from Avtovo Metro Station, or suburban trains from Baltiskiy Station. Either way, the journey takes a little under one hour.

Oranienbaum Park

Located on a slight incline, this pretty landscaped park is slowly being restored to its former glories, and contains a number of unusual architectural features.

Grand Menshikov Palace

This superbly elegant baroque palace was originally built for Peter the Great's closest adviser, and was the only suburban palace to survive World War 2 intact.

Chinese Palace

The favorite retreat of Catherine the Great, this small but exquisitely designed neoclassical villa has superbly restored interiors in "Oriental" style.

Palace of Peter III

This modest two-storey building was built for the future Peter III, and was the centre of Petershtadt, his peculiar model fortress of which he styled himself the Commandant.

Built as part of a Summer Palace for Peter III, this simple two-storey block by Antonio Rinaldi was later used as a Lutheran church, and is now an exhibition and concert hall.
