- Magnifier works on the Pixel 5 and newer.
Google had plenty to show off at its Pixel 8 series launch event, and one of the more practical features it announced was the Magnifier app. We didn’t have to wait long for a release as it’s now available for Pixel owners.
The Magnifier app has landed on the Play Store (h/t: Mishaal Rahman and Threads user @_better_be_me), allowing you to zoom in on faraway signs and text. Google specifically cites examples like street signs or restaurant menus behind the counter.
