Not sure when this was made possible but I’m glad it has. On mobile I’m able to pinch and zoom any screen in a container, including images.

I’ve only just noticed now while playing on an app so don’t know exactly, but from what I can tell, any component that is inside a container can be zoomed. I tend to use containers for everything so virtually the whole app is zoomable.

Edit (2 days later): Thought I’d better add this to prevent anyone being mislead. It’s only working on one of my apps. I didn’t have any others active on my phone at the time so made the post without proper testing. Still don’t know why it works on that one app though.

I love that you can zoom in. That is so helpful, especially for the Glide accessibility outlook.

Here it is working on most of the tabs in this app.

Ok so I just installed a couple of other apps on my phone to test them and they don’t work. I’m not sure why the app above allows pinch and zoom. No idea at all 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it’s your phone. Did you try it on desktop?

This is kinda cool, but I can not reproduce this at all.
