Where's the "triple tap" screen magnification feature?

[Casey Cheung]

I'm having trouble finding the menu setting to triple tap the screen to magnify anywhere on the screen. Instead I have a small icon on the bottom right corner of the screen that when tapped once will show a square box for magnification which I don't like. It's not the same as doing the triple tap command. I found this feature useful on my Note 10+ phone, even my Samsung smart watch has that same feature. Thanks.

Go to settings, accessibility, visibility enhancements , Magnification.

Then turn on Magnification Shortcut.

After that click on the Magnification Shortcut (not the toggle switch but the menu itself).

Brings you to various options Magnification. Triple tap is on the bottom.

I just did a deep dive into the accessibility settings. There seems to be something to help any situation! I'm impressed.

I've used nothing but Samsung since 2011. Are all brands' flagship kitted out like this?

Not just flagships, thankfully. Most accessibility features are built into Android. Although Samsung have a couple of unique options.

Nice! I love the availability of those features.

YES, THANK YOU! Dang, that was the very last missing step of finding that hidden menu of Magnification Shortcut of enabling triple tap to magnify and turning off that small person accessibility icon that I didn't want. I was so close but kept missing that last extra step which is not intuitive to figure out! Anyway, thanks! -Casey

I did that but now entering text in form fields or anywhere for that matter, is super slow does not keep up with my typing speed, which is definitely not fast!! Its like the phone continuously checks if I am tripple tapping or not! Very strange and not convenient at all. Why?
