ACcessibility - Magnification Feature in HTC One

[knbrl]

Hi,

I am a visually impaired user and thinking of buying an HTC One these days (after the new iOS7 UI made it so difficult for people with low vision to use the iPhone). I made some research and found out that there are some accessibility features in Android, which may ease my use of the phone. I also went to BestBuy and checked a Galaxy S4 and found those features really helpful. However, when I looked for those features in an HTC One, there weren't the magnification gesture (the one that zooms the whole screen when triple tapped). I am not sure if it was because of the version of Android installed on the HTC or because of the Sense UI.

I would be glad if an HTC One user (preferably an Android 4.3 updated one) confirms that the "magnification gestures" is present under the HTC One settings > accessibility.

Thanks

It is on the new updated 4.3. go to Accessibility, System then Magnification gestures. To activate it, you need to click three times on generally the same spot very quickly and click three times again very quickly to zoom back out.
