Here comes the zoom tutorial for Instagram

Zooming on Instagram is not possible? By - and very easy! We explain in a step-by-step guide how it works.

If you check your Instagram feed, you get caught with every second picture with narrowed eyes. The zoom function is missing! In a technophile culture where even toddlers know how to wallow on a tablet to make the picture bigger, the app's one-size-for-all-picture philosophy seems a bit limited.

Especially if you really want to see what can be seen in detail on all the no-make-up selfies, Bigstagrams, Belfies, Shelfies or Bedstagrams!

Here's the trick we can use to tackle Instagram's anti-zoom policy: Just go to the iPhone's General Settings app, then go to the " Accessibility, " click " Zoom, " and turn the slider to "On.",

Imagine now a photo on Instagram, which will be taken under closer scrutiny, just with three fingers (admittedly a bit bumpy, but it works) double tap on the screen. Continue to wipe up and the image gets bigger, with a wiper down the photo becomes smaller again. Move the fingers on the screen to vary the frame.

Refined, right? So we miss no mascara crumbs on a no-make-up selfie, no rumble corner in the shelf or any other trifle on Instagram.
