iPhone 13 Max can't turn off.

I have an iPhone 13 Max. The icons/lettering are huge - a letter can take up whole screen. Usually I turn it off/on and it reverts to normal size. today I get flashing lights/and siren. Help please?

Force restart it:

Press and quickly release VOLUME UP

then

Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN

then

Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears

The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.

After you recover go to Settings/Accessibility and turn off Zoom.
