I find the double-tap to zoom feature very annoying in certain situations. I don’t need the feature; I can always pinch to zoom. I read that double tapping with three fingers turns the feature off in iPadOS, but I tried it on my phone and it doesn’t seem to work there. Is there any way to turn the feature off in iOS?

do you have an example webpage that does this?
Tapping to zoom is not something I typically do in Safari, I would just pinch to zoom like you would prefer.
But I tried going to a couple of random sites, one of them an iPhone 13 page on Apple's website.. I can single, double and triple tap with 1 or 2 fingers.. Nothing ever zooms for me. (I'm on iOS 15.3.1 using an iPhone 13 Pro)
If you are doing this with a 3 finger double tap, that's not specific to Safari.. that is activating an accessibility feature called Zoom and you can do that in any app on your iPhone, also from your Home Screen. If that's what you're seeing, you'd disabled that by going into Settings > Accessibility > Zoom and turning off the switch at the top.
