  • Touch twice with quickly twice and three fingers Action of touching the screen quickly twice and withdraw your fingers afterward.
  • Touch twice with three fingers and hold Action of touching the screen twice and leaving your finger against it on the second touch.
  • Swipe two fingers Action of quickly swiping the screen from one side to the other.

Here is a summary of gestures for Zoom:

3-finger gestures Actions
Touch once and hold Allows you to move around on the magnified page.
Touch twice Activate or deactivate the magnification.
Touch twice and hold Allows adjustment and personalization of the zoom size by moving towards the top of the screen (zoom up) or moving towards the bottom of the screen (zoom out).
2-finger gestures Actions
Swipe left/right Move from one page to the other.
1-finger gestures Actions
Swipe left/right Move from one page to the other (just like the two- finger gesture.)

Trick :
In ZOOM mode, by placing and holding one finger on one of the corners or side of the screen, the screen moves towards the chosen direction.

For iOS 8 that will be released this fall, Zoom has been entirely redesigned.
