How to always zoom in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Do you have trouble reading small text while browsing the web? Learn how to set up automatic web page zoom for all or specific websites in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Safari on Mac with huge text on a web page

Sometimes, you may have trouble reading text on specific websites because those sites use tiny font sizes. And if you have a weak eyesight, you may have this trouble on all websites. To address this, you can adjust the font size in Safari. But this isn’t always enough. Maybe the webpage you’re visiting has images that you want to view bigger. Or perhaps the site size overall is just too small.

There’s a wonderful accessibility feature for Safari on both Mac and iOS that lets you zoom to a particular percentage on all sites you visit or only those where you need it. We’ll show you how to enable zoom in Safari in this tutorial.

On iPhone and iPad

For a specific website.

  • Open Safari and visit the website whose text size you want to increase.
  • Tap the AA button from the address bar.
  • Tap the bigger A to increase the text size. 100% is the default .

Increase Page Zoom for a website in Safari on iOS

For all websites

  • Open Settings and tap Safari .
  • Scroll down and tap Page Zoom.
  • Here, you’ll see the specific websites whose text size you have changed following the earlier set of steps. To change one, tap it and choose a new zoom percentage. You can also edit the list of sites on this screen. Tap Edit at the top and then Delete or Clear All Settings .
  • After specific sites, there is a heading for Other Websites . Here, you can choose a default percentage for all other pages you visit in Safari that isn’t already on your list. Pick a percentage from 50% to 300%.

Safari Page Zoom settings for all websites on iPhone

  • Visit the site in Safari.
  • Press the Command + Plus (+) keys to increase the page size.
  • Or, click Safari next to the top Apple icon and choose Settings for the website name . Now, use the Page Zoom option to set it to an appropriate percentage.

Change Page Zoom for a website in Safari on Mac

  • Open Safari and click Safari > Settings from the top menu bar.
  • Go to the Websites tab.
  • Select Page Zoom from the left sidebar.
  • Here, you will see your configured websites and currently open websites where you’re using page zoom. You can change their zoom level or remove them.
  • To set zoom for all other websites you visit that are not already on your list, click the drop-down menu next to “ When visiting other websites ” and pick a level from as low as 50 percent or as high as 300 percent.

Set Page Zoom when visiting other websites in Safari on Mac

Using zoom in Safari is a super simple way to see websites and pages larger and more clearly. And because the setting is so easy to access on all your devices, you can change it back at any time. Just follow the above steps and set the zoom level to 100%, which is the default.

Is the zoom feature in Safari something you’ve tried and would recommend, or are you going to give it a shot for the first time?

Zoom System Requirements: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch includes the following features and software, you can use it with Zoom.

iPhone 3GS with no front-facing camera, iPhone 4 and later, iPod Touch 4th generation and later, iPad 2 or later, iPad Pro, iPad mini

iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running iOS 8 or later.

iPad running iPadOS 13 or later.

Safari 5+ or Chrome

1 GHz or greater single-core processor (non-Intel)

Zoom can automatically adjust for Wi-Fi or 3G. If you're connecting via Wi-Fi, you'll need:

  • 600kbps for one-to-one calls with high video quality and 1.2 Mbps for HD calls.
  • 600kbps or 1.2Mbps for group calls with high video quality. 1.5Mbps to use gallery view in group calls.

If you're not sure if your internet speed is adequate, there are lots of different speed tests available online. Some popular options include  Fast  and  Ookla .

How to Download & Install Zoom & Create a Zoom Account on an iPhone & iPad

If you want to install and use Zoom on your iPhone or iPad, visit the App Store and download Zoom Cloud Meetings (Free). If you're new to this, check out our tip on how to download apps . Once you've downloaded and opened the Zoom app, it's time to create an account.

create a zoom account

You'll set up a password, which you can save to your iCloud Keychain. If you need to  enable your iCloud Keychain , we have a tip on how to do that.

The Zoom app will ask if it can send notifications and access your calendar, to help you schedule and remember your meetings. You'll also have the option to enable Zoom to use Siri, so you can use Siri to start your Zoom calls. If your device has Touch ID or Face ID enabled, you'll have the option to sign in with these features. 

If someone else has set up a Zoom meeting, there's more than one way to join, since there is more than one way to be invited. If you've received an invitation via email or text message, click the Zoom link included, and follow the prompts. You need to enter a password if one was included. If you don't have a link, but have the Meeting ID, follow the steps below.   

how to use zoom meeting

*Note: Many people get confused during Zoom calls because icons disappear from your display if you haven't touched it in a while. Just tap your screen once, and all the controls will reappear. *

How to Create a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to Set Up Scheduled or Instant Zoom Meetings 

Zoom offers two types of meetings, Scheduled or Instant. If you need to host either type of Zoom meeting, set up a Personal Meeting ID (PMI). Using a PMI sets up a virtual meeting room that's always available at that address (PMI). This virtual meeting room will always be accessible using its link and PMI, so people you share this login information with can join meetings in this Personal Meeting room at any time. Personal Meeting IDs are also handy because you can customize audio, video, recording, and security settings as needed for each of your PMIs, and not have to start from scratch before each meeting. 

If you have several different types of meetings to conduct, such as one for friends and another for family, or one for your clients and another for the executive team, you'll want to set up a separate virtual meeting room with its own PMI for each one. Also, be sure to only share the link and PMI with people who need to join that particular meeting.

Don't use a PMI that you want to use for personal or work meetings for a public event where you share the Zoom link on, say, social media. Anyone who saves that link can enter your meeting room at any time after that, and share it with others, who can crash your meeting as well. You'll find instructions below for how to password protect your Zoom meeting rooms, but even so, if someone you invited shares the link and password with people you didn't invite, things can quickly get out of hand.

Here are instructions for setting a meeting room with a Personal Meeting ID.

how to use zoom meeting

You can now use this PMI for future meetings, whether scheduled or instant. You can invite more people later, set a meeting password, and change multiple other audio, video, and security settings as needed. 

You can start a scheduled meeting with a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) you previously created, or without one. To do this:

schedule a zoom meeting

  • When it's time for your meeting to begin, tap Start next to its Meeting ID on your Zoom Home screen.

How to Edit Personal Meeting Room Settings

To edit your meeting settings before the meeting starts:

meetings tab on zoom app

When you toggle on Require Meeting Password , a field will appear where you can enter a password every meeting member will need to enter before entering the virtual meeting room.

Toggle on Enable Waiting Room , and Zoom creates a page where participants wait until you, the moderator, approves them to join.

Allow Join Before Host enables meeting invitees to enter the virtual meeting room before the host does.

Automatically Record Meeting allows the host to choose the location where a copy of the Zoom meeting will be stored. 

Extra Zoom Settings & Features 

How to share your screen on zoom.

You can screen share your iPhone or iPad display during a Zoom meeting to another  iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Follow the steps above for starting a Zoom meeting, then invite participants and share invitations as usual. From here:

zoom share icon

As you can see from the second screenshot, you can do far more with this Share icon than just screen share. Use this feature to share photos, content from your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more. 

For more detailed steps and screenshots, check out our comprehensive  screen sharing guide , which includes a step-by-step Zoom tutorial.

How to Chat During a Meeting  

Another useful and fun Zoom feature is the chat option. To access this feature:

zoom more icon

As with the Share icon, the More icon leads to many other meeting options. 

zoom meeting settings

In addition to using backgrounds, you can also get fancy with filters. Learn how to look good on Zoom using the  Touch Up My Appearance feature .

Siri Shortcuts & Zoom 

Siri and Zoom go great together; you can set up shortcuts to view your meetings that day, join your next scheduled meeting, or start a personal meeting. For this to work, you'll need to have Hey Siri enabled on your iPhone or iPad. To set up a Siri Shortcut on your device:

zoom settings

To use your shortcut, just say, " Hey, Siri ", then use the phrase you recorded for the Siri Shortcut you chose.

How's It Going with Zoom so Far?

I hope this guide has helped you get started with Zoom, and increase your comfort level with the app. Let me know if I missed anything (to do with the iPhone or iPad), and I'll see how I can help.

Professionals around the world are adopting a hybrid work model. This change in work habits comes with limitations, such as no in-person meetings. However, Zoom has emerged as a savior. A free-to-use video conferencing software, it allows you to make and attend video and audio calls.

Available as a web and mobile app for Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone, Zoom has an easy-to-use interface and allows up to 100 participants. To help you make the most, we have prepared a complete guide on how to use the Zoom app on iPhone and iPad.

How to set up the Zoom app on iPhone and iPad

How to start a new meeting on the zoom app for iphone, join a meeting using meeting id on the zoom ios app, how to host a scheduled zoom meeting on iphone, change your zoom backgrounds on iphone, how to share screen on the zoom ios app, edit personal meeting room settings on the zoom app for iphone, how to chat on zoom, use siri shortcuts to join or start a zoom meeting.

Once you have downloaded Zoom from the App Store , here’s how you can proceed to set it up on your device.

Pre-requisites

  • iOS 8.0 or above for iPhone
  • iPadOS 8 or above for iPad
  • Working internet connection with minimum 600kbps bandwidth for one-to-one calls with high video quality
  • Minimum 1.2 Mbps for HD video calls
  • 600kbps or 1.2Mbps for group calls and 1.5 Mbps for group video call

Permissions

You need to grant the following permissions to run the Zoom app on your iPhone:

  • Contacts : To make a video/audio call.
  • Location : To generate an Emergency Response Location. This location will be used as a reference while dialing emergency services from the Zoom app.
  • Calendars : Zoom will add a scheduled meeting as an event to the default calendar app.
  • Microphone : To use the microphone when joining a meeting or webinar.
  • Camera : To allow one-to-one or group video calls.

  • Background App Refresh: To send notifications.
  • Notifications: To notify regarding meetings, meeting invites, scheduled meetings, and more.
  • Siri & Search: To join the next meeting, view today’s meetings, and start a personal meeting by setting up Siri shortcuts.

Now that you have granted all necessary permissions, it’s time to learn more about using Zoom. Keep scrolling!

  • Go to the ‘ Meets & Chat ‘ tab.
  • Tap New Meeting .
  • Next, toggle on to start a video meeting .
  • Optional : Enable your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to create a private meeting room and start or schedule a meeting at the specified time. (More on this later).

How to start a new meeting on the Zoom app for iPhone

Here’re some more controls to run your meeting smoothly.

  • Tap the ‘Zoom’ button at the top to get information about your meeting like Meeting ID, host name, passcode, invite link, encryption, and more.
  • To invite participants to the meeting, tap Participants → invite . You can invite contacts directly if you have granted permission to the default Contacts app or copy and share the invite link.
  • To share content in a Zoom meeting, tap Share content and choose the type of content you want to share.

Tap on the ‘Share content’ from zoom app on iPhone

Note : To leave a meeting temporarily, click the end button at the top right. You can choose ‘ end meeting for all ‘ if you are the host.

If someone has invited you to a Zoom meeting, there are two ways to join it. One is by directly clicking the shared link, and another is by using the meeting ID. Here’s how you can join a meeting using the meeting ID.

Note : The host must enable and share the meeting ID to join the meeting.

  • Launch Zoom and tap Join in the ‘Meet & Chat’ tab.
  • Enter the meeting ID and enter your name that will appear when you join the meeting.

Join a meeting using meeting ID on the Zoom iOS app

Sometimes, you might want to schedule a meeting in advance. Zoom offers an option to schedule meetings for your desired date and time. You can even schedule a recurring meeting. Here’s how:

  • Open Zoom and go to the ‘ Meet & Chat ‘ tab.
  • Now, tap Schedule .
  • Set the start time and duration .
  • Optional: You can change the default calendar for the meeting notification, use a personal meeting ID (PID), enable waiting room, and modify other additional meeting options.

How to host a scheduled Zoom meeting on iPhone

Note : A non-recurring meeting ID will expire after 30 days. However, you can restart it within 30 days.

To schedule a recurring meeting:

  • Follow the above steps and hit Repeat .
  • Now, select the suitable time interval for the recurring meeting: Every Day, Every Week, Every 2 Weeks, Every Month, or Every year .
  • Once the changes have been made for the meeting, hit Save .

If you don’t want to show your messy room while attending a meeting, Zoom offers an option to apply a virtual background. You can choose from a list of virtual backgrounds or set a custom one.

For example, you can set a virtual background with a birthday cake to celebrate someone’s birthday in the meeting, etc.

Here’s how you can change backgrounds in Zoom:

  • Start or join a meeting.
  • Tap More at the bottom right.
  • Now, choose Backgrounds and Filters .

Change your Zoom backgrounds on iPhone

Zoom is majorly used in businesses where collaborating on documents and projects is important. Hence, its screen sharing feature is helpful. You can share your screen to show its content to participants. Here’s how:

  • In a meeting, tap Share Content at the bottom.
  • Tap the screen from the list of options.
  • Select the start broadcast option.

You can also share photos, folders, or files from iCloud, Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, Website URL, and Bookmark.

  • While sharing the screen, your notifications will be visible to all the participants. Therefore, I recommend enabling Do Not Disturb.
  • To stop screen sharing, tap the red-colored timer at the top left and select stop sharing.

Zoom offers a high level of customizability for meetings. You can edit settings for your meeting room while in a meeting. Tap More and select Meeting Settings .

You will get the following options:

  • Meeting Topic : You can edit the meeting topic to your liking and tell the participants more about the agenda.

  • Play Join and Leave Sound : Toggle it on if you want to be notified via a sound when a participant enters or leaves.
  • Always Show Meeting Controls : Disabling this option will auto-hide the meeting control bar. I recommend turning it on to access meeting controls easily.
  • Show Self View : Turn it off to hide your video view from the meeting’s display
  • Show my connected time : It shows how long you have been in a meeting.
  • Touch Up My Appearance : This option uses AI to enhance your digital appearance in real-time.
  • Closed Captioning : Turning it on will provide subtitles of the in-meeting verbal communication. It helps follow the conversation easily or meet accessibility requirements.
  • Show Name when Participants Join : Enable it to display each participants’ name when joining the meeting.
  • Show non-video participants : ​​Show or hide participant’s names or profile pictures on the Zoom Room’s display if their video is turned off.

Besides being one of the most popular video-conferencing apps, Zoom also doubles down as a messenger. You can chat with other participants in the meeting.

  • While you are in a meeting, tap More → Chat .
  • Select whom you want to send the message: everyone or a specific person .

How to chat in Zoom on iPhone

Note : You can also mute chat notifications by clicking the bell icon at the top right under the Chat tab to avoid disturbance during the meeting.

Zoom also works perfectly with Siri. If you use Siri Shortcuts daily, you will enjoy the fact that you can join or start a Zoom meeting using Siri Shortcuts. For the uninitiated, Siri Shortcuts are commands used to perform tasks by triggering custom Siri phrases or tapping a button.

Here’s how to check available Siri Shortcuts that you can use with Zoom:

Note : Before setting up Zoom Siri shortcuts, ensure that Hey Siri is enabled on your iPhone/iPad.

  • Open Zoom and tap Settings at the bottom right.
  • Tap Siri Shortcuts .
  • Join the Next Meeting: To join the meeting using Siri, you need to trigger the shortcut by saying, “ Hey Siri, Join the next meeting .”
  • View Today’s Meetings: To view your Zoom meetings for the day, ask Siri, “ Hey Siri, View today’s meetings .”
  • Start My Personal Meeting: You can start a personal meeting by triggering Siri with the following phrase: “ Hey Siri, Start my personal meeting .”

There’s also an option to change the voice phrase to trigger the action using a custom phrase. After adding the Siri Shortcuts, you can edit them or remove them from the Shortcuts app on your iPhone/iPad.

That’s it!

The hybrid work model is the new normal, and Zoom is one of the best tools to quickly adapt to the new normal. I hope that our guide on the Zoom app for iPhone or iPad helped you get the hang of it. If you think we skipped something important in this guide, share it in the comments below, and we will try to add it.

Enable automatic Page Zoom for easier reading in Safari [Pro tip]

By Killian Bell • 1:00 pm, January 13, 2021

  • Top stories

How to enable Page Zoom in Safari

iOS, iPadOS, and macOS allow you to increase font sizes system-wide so that everything you do is easier to see. You can do a similar thing to make your favorite websites easier to read inside Safari.

We’ll show you how to use Page Zoom in this Safari pro tip.

If your vision isn’t too spectacular, increasing font sizes on your Apple devices can make a huge difference to usability. And when you choose a larger font in your settings, that change extends to many of your apps.

However, a larger system font won’t automatically make webpages easier to read in Safari. There’s another setting for that, and we’ll show you how to take advantage of it.

Enable automatic Page Zoom in Safari

Simply follow these steps on iPhone and iPad:

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Tap Safari .
  • Tap Page Zoom .
  • Select the Page Zoom preference you would like to use. This will become the default and will apply to all websites.

And follow these steps on Mac:

  • Open Safari .
  • Click Safari in the menu bar, then click Preferences…
  • Under the Websites tab, click Page Zoom .
  • You’ll see a list of the sites you currently have open, and you can specify a zoom preference for each if you wish. To set a zoom setting for all sites, look for the drop-down box alongside When visiting other websites .

There are a long list of Page Zoom options, from 50% to 300%, with 100% selected by default. We recommend selecting 115% initially, then visiting a site you find difficult to read, and increasing the zoom again if necessary.

Page Zoom can have inadvertent affects on some websites, and the higher your zoom setting, the more likely you are to run into issues. That’s why it’s best to increase zoom incrementally to find what works best for you.

Change Page Zoom on the fly

You might find a Page Zoom setting that works for you but still run into some websites that are too difficult to read. When this happens, you can change Page Zoom for this particular site on the fly.

On iPhone and iPad, simply tap the Aa button in Safari’s address bar, then use the buttons at the top of the menu to adjust zoom. On macOS, tap View in the menu bar when Safari is open, then click Zoom In .

How to Fix: My iPad Is Zoomed in or Shows a Magnifying Glass

What to do when your iPad zoom is stuck

safari ipad zoom

  • University of Texas at Arlington

The iPad accessibility features include the ability to zoom in on the screen, which makes icons and text appear larger and easier to see. The Zoom feature also adds a square magnifying glass to the screen that localizes the effect to only where you look. The zoom feature makes it easier to read text on the iPad when small text becomes fuzzy . But, sometimes the zoom gets stuck and the screen magnification won't change.

These instructions apply to iPads running iOS 8 and later.

How to Fix an iPad when the Zoom Doesn't Work

If the iPad zoom feature gets stuck, there are multiple ways to fix the problem.

Double-tap the iPad display with three fingers. With your index, middle, and ring fingers, double-tap the screen to turn the zoom-in feature on and off. This should fix the problem. To keep this from happening again, turn the zoom feature off in the iPad settings . The accessibility settings are located in the General section of the iPad settings.

Triple-click the Home button. The accessibility settings have a shortcut that turns features on and off. To activate this shortcut, triple-click the Home button. If you configured the triple-click to zoom in on the iPad, zoom out using a triple-click. This is a common reason why the zoom is accidentally engaged.

Use pinch-to-zoom. The iPad zoom-in feature is different from the  pinch-to-zoom gesture . Some apps such as Safari use pinch-to-zoom to make a web page or image larger. If the screen still isn't zoomed out, place your thumb and index finger on the screen with the thumb and finger touching as if you were pinching the screen, then move your fingers apart while your fingertip and thumb tip are still touching the screen. This pinch-out will zoom out the display if you zoomed in this way.

Turn the Zoom feature off. You may never want to use the Zoom feature or magnifying glass. Deactivating it will also stop it from being accidentally turned on. To switch it off, open the Settings app , go to General > Accessibility , then turn off the Zoom toggle switch. Turning off Zoom deactivates both the zoom feature and the magnifying glass.

What Else Can You Do With Zoom?

If the text on the screen is blurry, configure the zoom to be more helpful. A few settings that can help with this are:

  • Smart Typing displays the on-screen keyboard without being zoomed even if the zoom feature is activated.
  • Idle Visibility determines how much of the zoom controller shows when the function is not in use.
  • Zoom Region switches from a full-screen zoom to a window zoom similar to having a magnifying glass on the screen.

Sharing your iOS screen from the Zoom desktop client

Zoom allows you to share your iOS screen (from an iPhone or iPad) in a meeting using the Zoom desktop client. You can share wirelessly for both macOS and Windows, utilizing iOS Screen Mirroring, or you can connect your iOS device to your macOS computer with a cable to share.

You can also share your entire iOS device screen using Screen Recording on iOS 11 or later.

  • Some types of videos cannot be shared when using Screen Mirroring.
  • If the Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host setting (located in your Settings ) is enabled, it will prevent the ability to use either of these sharing options.

  • Whole safari app zooming in I have noticed that when I open up the safari app it sometimes zooms in by itself. Not just the website but the whole app. This has only occurred on my iPad. It zooms in so much that it partially cuts out the plus sign on the top right of the app. If I try to zoom out it doesn’t fix it so the only thing that works is to close and reopen the app. I was wondering if anyone knows why or how this happens or if someone else has experienced this? Thank you for reading 810 2
  • Issue to 'zoom out' on iPad Pro Hello, I have a 'zoom' problem with my 2018 iPad Pro running iPadOs 13.4. For example if I open the Amazon app and compare what I see on the screen on my ipad as opposed to what I would see if I open the same Amazon page on a computer, the page on the iPad Pro is way too much zoomed in and I do not know how to fix since the zoom feature is already turned off in the Accessibility menu. It's the same thing for the web pages that I browse using Safari: there are too much 'zoomed in'! I would like to be able to achieve the same result as when I press the 'Apple + Minus key' on a computer and to be able to save this setting as my default zoom setting but I do not know how to do it. Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? Thank you so much for your help! Best regards! 2843 3
  • Zoom Enabled - randomly appears during browsing Zoom enabled keeps appearing on my iPhone 6 while I’m browsing - and always cuts off my browsing. I’ve switched off the zoom feature in settings but it hasn’t helped - and iOS updates haven’t addressed it either. Please can anyone suggest a fix? 7333 1

Hello truebloodc,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Does this Zoom work as expected: Zoom in on the iPhone screen

Can you also verify a few more details? When did you first notice this? Have you ever been able to zoom in safari previously? Also, when you restored your iPhone, did you restore as new or from a backup?

Hi truebloodc,

Great troubleshooting so far. Check your display settings to make sure the selection there is correct, make adjustments if needed, then test again. Your display selection may be limiting options in other apps. Check out Adjust the display and text size on iPhone - Apple Support for additional information.

If the same continues, it may be best to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance.

I’m having the same issue. Did you find a solution?

Jul 21, 2022 8:22 AM in response to jackson1714

I have not! I can go down to 85% and up to 115% in the browser. And in Safari settings my edit button is greyed out, and when I try and select any zoom other than 100% it does nothing.

Jul 21, 2022 8:24 AM in response to truebloodc

i can’t change mine from 100. I have no other options and my edit button is grayed out as well.

Jul 21, 2022 8:36 AM in response to jackson1714

I’m thinking about downgrading and see if that helps.

I tried googling and I come up with threads and articles from 2014 era. Is anyone having this issue? I tried checking accessibility settings on my iPad, and nothing jumps out at me. I have the iPad Pro 12.9” 2021. Say, I have 3 tabs open, if I switch between one, it will auto-zoom super huge and I’d have to pinch to zoom out. If I go to another tab (while not all the time), it will often do the same thing. Anyone know how to fix this or know what is causing it?  

  • Open the Settings app on the iPad.
  • Scroll down and choose the Safari browser from Settings .
  • From Safari Settings, select the Page Zoom Safari option.
  • Within the window, tap to select the Zooming level .

Page Zooming Level in Safari iOS and iPadOS

I will try that and see how it goes. Thank you.  

  • Oct 31, 2022

Thought it resolved itself, but nope. Still there when rapidly switching tabs, one will zoom in super close.

Macrumors newbie.

I also have this problem in ipadOS 17.1 extremely annoying. Ipad pro is the worst device I bought its so infuriating I’m going to sell all my apple devices. I can easily reproduce when switching from tradingview and github, when i go back to tradingview the page is auto zoomed in. the only browser that works fine is firefox, it doesnt have the weird auto zoom issue BUT password autofill doesn’t work as nicely as safari, basically everything is broken for me in ipados apart from casual media consumption

I think it has to do with having a keyboard attached. I have learned to live with it, but it seems more prevalent when I have it attached.
