As I was writing the article last week on amplifying sound, this got me thinking, &#8216;What can we do to help people on the Motorola side?&#8217; With a little research, I discovered a feature that I think will be helpful to some of you. &#8216;What could that be,&#8217; you might be asking? I want to show you how you can magnify your screen more easily. There is a feature on your phone that will give you an icon on the home screen that will provide you with a magnification option.
