SophieHector,


Have you accidentally turned on ZOOM in Accessibility? Check Settings > Accessibility > Zoom. Slide to Off if is On.

Hi SophieHector,


I always had my iphone zoom in at random times, so I know what to do. Try tapping twice with three fingers instead of just tapping once. If it's completely stuck and won't let you tap, try restarting or forcing your iPhone to shut down. When it turns back on, the screen should be back to normal. Once it works, turn off Zoom permanently so it doesn't get stuck in zoom mode again.


You can do this by:

Opening Settings.

Tap Accessibility.

Go to Zoom.

Toggle Zoom to Off


Have a good day!
