My Zoom Control is not visible since upgrading to IOS 18

Since upgrading to IOS 18 my Zoom control icon is no longer visible. I have checked Settings since it has been turned off in the past when updating the IOS. However it is turned on and still nothing. I have tried turning it off, restarting my IPad and then turning it back on. Still nothing. Help! I rely on this function all the time. I am afraid to update my iPhone because I use it alll the time as well.

iPad, iPadOS 18

Am no expert in this area, yet your request certainly deserves some response.

Wondering if one or both of these settings below are those that you checked, and made sure was on:

Apple support's online article for iPadOS 18: Zoom in on the iPad screen - Apple Support

says:

✽. Go to Settings   > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Zoom

___________________________________________________________________________

Also:

✽. "To adjust the settings with the Zoom menu, triple-tap with three fingers,

then Show Controller: Show the Zoom Controller".

_______________________

"To use the Zoom Controller, do any of the following:

    • Show the Zoom menu: Tap the controller.
    • Zoom in or out: Double-tap the controller.
    • Pan: When zoomed in, drag the controller."

If Zoom control is still not working for you on your iPad, then you may want to send feedback to Apple. They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will reach those who can make changes if others are also experiencing this issue.

All the best :-)
