locked screen on iphone 8

I clicked on zoom to enlarge letters on screen. It "locked" on the zoomed screen preventing any use. It wont accept my thumb print and it wont turn off. How can I unlock to get back in?

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Unlocking a zoomed iphone 7 I have an iphone 7 that was accidentally set to zoomed mode and is now locked. The 'double-tap' of three fingers to unzoom is not working, and I can't seem to move the screen to enter the passcode. My finger print id isn't working either because the phone has already disabled itself a couple of times with my attempts to get the passcode entered. When I try to connect it to iTunes the phone won't connect without unlocking the phone which I can't do. Triple tapping the home button doesn't work either. I've watched endless videos on YouTube, all with the same advice, none of which seems to work. I think I'm very close to putting in the final passcode that will result in the phone erasing itself. Does anyone have any possible solution that will prevent this phone becoming an expensive paperweight?

Try turning off zoom by double tapping on the screen using three fingers.
