Question

When the iPhone screen is zoomed and I cannot see or access the zoom control button, can I get out of zoom without turning off the phone?

You can set zoom as an accessibility shortcut in Settings. Accessibility shortcuts are activated when you triple-click your home button (or power button on newer devices). By connecting the control feature to an external button rather than an on-screen switch, you don't need to worry about an enlarged display hiding the zoom control button.

Did you click the red button with something that looks like a phone inside it? It is at the bottom. This will work with most video calling apps.

Question

The Zoom app is still there.

Community Answer

Try holding it for a long time (to start editing the iPhone/iPad) until the editing page comes (look for small crosses on each app). Then press the cross on a Zoom app, and when a pop-up sign comes saying if you are sure you want to delete it, click yes. The Zoom app will be deleted.

I turned my phone off and now it will not let me put my password in. The Zoom will not go away.

Community Answer

Do a three-finger double-tap anywhere on the screen. If you use the fingers and slide them across the screen, move them where you are zoomed. If you go to your iPhone’s or iPad’s settings app, you would go to Accessibility, then under the visual section, tap Zoom, then the first button should be Zoom. If you toggle Zoom, you turn it on and off.
