Navigating within a webpage

Webpages that are optimized for mobile devices typically open at a size appropriate for your phone. Often, you can’t zoom or even scroll their contents.

Webpages that aren’t designed specifically for mobile devices typically open in overview mode—the page is zoomed out so you can get the big picture. You can change how pages open, as described in “Changing Browser settings” on page 250.

Scroll a webpage

Zoom in or out on a webpage

1Slide your finger slightly on the screen to reveal the Zoom control .

Quickly zoom into a section of a webpage

You may not be able to zoom in or out on webpages designed for mobile devices.

The webpage zooms in so that you can read all the text in that section by scrolling up and down.

If you adjust your zoom level in this view, Browser remembers your preference while you stay on that page.

STouch an area with two fingers at once and pinch them together to zoom out; spread them apart to zoom in. Double-tap after zooming in this way, to reflow a column of text to fit the screen (if you have the Auto-fit pages setting checked, as described in “Page content settings” on page 250).
