Hi Jaunty97,


To change your Display Zoom settings, follow these steps from Magnify the iPhone screen with Display Zoom:

1. Go to Settings  > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom.
2. Select Larger Text to make all the text on iPhone larger.
3. Tap Done, then tap Use Zoomed.


You can also change it to 'Default' in this area.


This article has more info on adjusting other Zoom settings in case this is what you are experiencing: If your Home Screen icons are magnified on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If something else is occurring, please provide more specifics so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!

Thanks - it isn’t a problem with the zoomed setting - that is on default - when I originally set up the phone out of the box I selected medium icons not default icons (default is smaller than medium) but they are too big and want them on the default setting. - I factory reset the phone and set it up again and chose default icon size but it still made icons medium (possibly as settings saved in my iCloud back up? ) I just want default small app icons - zoom etc is not the problem
