I am reading articles on my ipad that are in notebooks on OneNote. Some of these articles are organized in two columns, and even the maximum zoom is not good enough to read comfortably. The font size is still quite small for long periods. Would it be possible to increase the maximum zoom?

Hi Bruno,

Based on my research, there does not appear to be a setting in OneNote for iPad that allows you to increase the maximum zoom level beyond the app's built-in limit.

As possible workarounds, you could try:

  • Using iPad Accessibility > Zoom, which provides a system-wide magnification feature and can enlarge content beyond what individual apps allow.
  • Viewing the article in a different format (for example, opening the original PDF or source document in an app that supports higher zoom levels, if available).

If having a higher zoom limit would be important for your workflow, especially for reading multi-column documents, you may wish to submit feedback through the Microsoft Feedback Portal, as feature requests from users help the product team prioritize improvements.

I hope this information is helpful.
