"Magnifier" mode uses the iPhone's camera to magnify text or other small things - handy, especially, for reading fine print, or zooming in on small details.
The hidden mode can also adjust brightness and color, which is useful for people who may have issues seeing specific colors.
Using Magnifier is easy after you turn it on.
First you have to turn it on. The setting is found in Settings > General > Accessibility. Turn "Magnifier" on.
