iPhone Double-tap to zoom gone?
In Chrome (and presumably Safari) it used to be possible to double-tap a block of text and the view would automatically snap to the width of the text. That no longer works in 13. Is that an option somewhere now? It’s possible to pinch to zoom but the old tap method was instant and one-handed.- jknight8907
