Does anyone know of a web browser on iOS that allows for zooming with a double tap and hold with dragging. Similar to how zooming is handled on maps. The only thing I’ve found was Firefox on android but I haven’t found anything on iOS yet. I wouldn’t figure this to be a limitation of WebKit but I could be wrong.

I saw that mentioned online when trying to research for this but three fingers don’t really work for one handed browsing lol

I didn’t know about this until now, but there is a feature called “back tap.“ It allows you to trigger specific actions by tappingeither two times or three times on the back of the iPhone. You can set this to zoom in or out.

This is where ChatGPT says to go:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.
Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, then select the action you want to assign.

Ah forgot about that feature. Thanks for the heads up that might work well!
