iPhone locked in zoom mode

Can I use iCloud on my iPad to unlock my phone? The zoom mode has blocked me from restarting my iPhone and will not let me unlock my iPhone as the keyboard is rendered useless while in zoom.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

thank you for responding.. my solution was via an Apple care chat, pressing the volume up once, volume down once, then pressing the right side power off button till the phone shut down and the apple logo came on and rebooted the phone. I initially tried to shut down the phone by pressing the power button and pressing the volume up simultaneously. It didn’t work, except to activate the SOS AND CALL 911 which I had no control over. I could not answer or hang up. Unreal. No gestures or tapping would minimize the zoom. Lesson learned,
