Steps

Tap the photo. The photo will now appear in full-screen mode.- If you selected a post with multiple photos, tap any of the photos, then scroll up or down to the photo you want to see. When it’s on the screen, tap it to open it in full-screen mode.
Pinch outward with two fingers to zoom in. Before you can zoom out, you’ll need to zoom in. Begin by placing two fingers together over the part of the photo you want to see enlarged, then move your fingers apart. Think of the motion as the opposite of a pinch.- While zoomed in, you can move the photo around using one finger.
Pinch inward to zoom out. Place two fingers anywhere on the screen and pinch them together. Continue making this motion until the photo appears in its normal size.
Double-tap the screen to exit zoom mode. You can do this at any time while zoomed in or out.
Go to https://www.facebook.com in a web browser. You can zoom in or out on any website, including Facebook, with a quick keyboard shortcut.- If you’re not already signed in to Facebook, enter your user account information and click Log In.
Open the page on which you want to zoom. You can zoom in or out on any image, video, or text on Facebook.
Press Ctrl++ (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd++ to zoom in. Repeat this key combination until you're zoomed in as far as you'd like to be.
Press Ctrl+- (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd+- to zoom out. Repeat this key combination until you're zoomed out to a comfortable distance.- Press Ctrl+0 (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd+0 to quickly restore Facebook to its default size (unzoomed).
