Use Your Phone as a Magnifying Glass

The Problem

You can't read small print on medicine bottles, receipts, or restaurant menus.

The Hack

iPhone: Settings > Accessibility > Magnifier > On. Triple-click side button to open. Android: Open Camera and pinch to zoom, or use Google Magnifier app.

Why It Works

The phone camera provides digital zoom and brightness controls far beyond a physical magnifying glass, plus you can freeze the image and adjust contrast.
