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.

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,

Try this -> Tap with your three finger on the screen and move so that you can enter your passcode.
Then turn Zoom Off - > Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> turn it Off.
i cursed myself for setting Siri not to respond in lock mode. I cursed quite a bit actually. Thanks for the response.
Have you tried asking Siri to "Show the keyboard"?
Just a thought.
I'm really glad that you were able to find a fix. Thanks for sharing your solution, it may well help someone in the future.
