Abstract

Systems and methods are provided to manage zooming in an electronic device. An example embodiment method includes receiving an input to increase or decrease a zoom level in an application. If it is determined the application includes a local zoom functionality, then it is further determined if a global zoom functionality is turned on. If so, the global zoom is turned off and then the local zoom is used to increase or decrease the zoom level. In another example embodiment, a method includes receiving an input to activate global zoom. If it is determined the global zoom is turned on, then the global zoom is activated.
