Enable Galaxy S8+ Magnifier Feature

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ were designed with the goal of making a phone that everyone can enjoy. And by that I literally mean everyone from those tech-savvy users who love to explore their handset all the way to those with a lower vision. If you have a lower vision, or experience some difficulty when reading anything on your screen, you can make use of the magnifier window on your Galaxy S8+ to make a change that works in your favor.

Don’t you know how to enable the Galaxy S8+ Magnifier Feature? First of all, let me be clear about the fact that the Magnifier acts as a small window on your display that you can drag around. Just place it somewhere and the font in that area is magnified.

When you don’t want to use it anymore, you can easily disable this magnifier window feature and make the window from the display go away.

The steps that you can find here will enable you to turn on and adjust the Magnifier Window settings on your Galaxy S8+. They are a must as long as you don’t have it activated by default. To use it, you will have to either access the general settings menu or the direct access menu. Let’s see what’s this all about.
