About
Use your camera to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter. Search for words before or after you take a picture to find what you need on a menu, a departure board, or anything containing text. Apply visual effects to make low contrast text more visible. In low light environments brightness is automatically adjusted. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need. Get started: 1. Download Magnifier from the Play Store. 2. (Optional) Set up Magnifier to easily open via Quick tap: a. Open your phone's Settings app. b. Go to System > Gestures > Quick tap. c. Turn on Use Quick tap. d. Choose open app. Next to "Open app," tap Settings. Then select Magnifier. e. To open Magnifier, tap twice on the back of your phone. Magnifier requires Pixel 5 or later model.

One of those simplistic luxuries that you don't realize you need, until you don't have it! I absolutely love it and use it on the daily.

I'm finding this more and more useful as I get older. I like the quick tile, but need something easier to get to, going to attach it to tap the back gesture

update: they added the ability to magnify pics! yay! og:this app is great for viewing stuff live but I wish I could use its zoom and filter features on photos I took with the normal camera app. like if I took a picture quickly of the menu at a restaurant. having to start with this app to use it on an image is a limitation for sure, but the photos app doesn't have the same nice zoom and filter options this has. let us open existing images with Magnifier and we'll get the best of both worlds :-)

Good app but I wish you would make this available for all Android devices, not just Pixel devices. Why can't you allow this app to be used on non Pixel devices?

Works better than any magnifying glass Ive ever seen. I do wish the adjustable brightness of the flashlight was available in the status bar menu of my pixel 9 pro but that isn't this apps fault that they showed me a better flashlight but only in app and not system set. Made by Google, well I guess it is their fault!

the good and bad... I choose Google apps to avoid the risks of third party apps and for the smooth integration with my pixel phones. unfortunately, after adding a button in my pull down quick setting tiles to make it easy to access, the tile fades out and stops working. Not sure why, but it makes quick access to the app a much slower process. - hence the bad.

Wow finally a useful, straightforward, GOOD app that wasn't forced upon me, but suggested. Incredible. Please google, more interactions like this. You simply capture what you want to see clearer, and the app enhances it to near crystal clear legibility.
