In accordance with various embodiments, a magnifying tool is provided in a user interface for magnifying content displayed on a mobile device and any other device with a restricted or limited viewing screen. A mobile device, including a magnifying tool for magnifying content displayed on the mobile device, can comprise a computer readable storage medium and processor. The mobile device can include a touchscreen operable to receive input from a user and display content.
