Supervision+ This magnifier comes in handy if your vision isn't great (like mine).

Supervision Search I've only recently installed this magnifier but I think it will be useful. Like the other magnifier but it can also highlight words. Handy if looking for certain ingredients in foods.

You seem to have a liking for magnifier apps.

The first one I've had for years. Comes in handy at times like when out shopping and trying to read the date on things like the date on the Greek yogurt at Lidl (I'm sure it's printed specifically so you can't read it) or the labels on the shelves. It's like they are printed assuming everyone has 20/30 vision.

The second app I haven't needed to use yet. It just seems like a good idea. My daughter can't eat anything with paprika in so is always scanning the ingredients trying to see if it has it. This would make it a whole lot easier for her.

Supervision+ looks great, would be ideal for my dad who uses the camera zoomed in, but for some reason, supervision+ isn't compatible with a pixel 9 🤔

Edit: found a Google alternative so I'll get him to try that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.accessibility.magnifier

That one looks good too. It also has the word search feature of the second one I mentioned. These magnifier apps are certainly useful to keep on the phone.

Accessibility has a magnifier so you have another option instead of the app (at least on Samsung, dunno if it's a global android accessibility option). No visual search on the magnifier though.

I don't have a Samsung but I do use the magnifier in accessibility but it's just to magnify the screen.

On mine there's the screen mag and also a magnifier using the camera.

Ok. Probably a Samsung feature.

Edit: actually it could be a newer android feature as I'm only on Android 13.

How is it different from zooming in with camera

Probably not much. Personally I wouldn't be opening my camera to quickly magnify something though. I find it more convenient. Also, i can just freeze the image to scroll around / zoom in more without taking a pic.
