Mouse zoom not working on my ipad

Hi- for some reason the scroll zoom function isn’t working on my iPad when using a Bluetooth mouse, even though I’ve enabled the feature in the settings. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 15

Hello Buzzlightyear_007, 


We know how important it is for you’re the behaviors of your mouse to work as expected, and you’ve come to a great place for help!


Being able to zoom while using the scroll wheel feature of your mouse is important, and we do want to advise that the feature may not be supported in all apps and functions. It sounds as though you’ve enabled the feature within Settings > Accessibility > Zoom > Keyboard Shortcuts. If you haven’t already done so, you can enable that feature using those steps, and enable Zoom with Scroll Wheel. Hold the Control ^ key while scrolling to adjust the zoom. More information about Zoom and using a Bluetooth mouse with your iPad can be found in the following articles.
