Even if you’re not a detective, being able to see things up close is a valuable asset. Apple’s iOS 10 introduces a new addition to its Accessibility options.

Head to Settings > General > Accessibility > Magnifier and swipe the Magnifier switch on. Then, simply triple tap on the home button, which will open up the camera with a special zoom slider that lets you see things much more closely than the standard camera zoom.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
