my 10th generation iPad went to a huge screen when I turned it sideways s in the middle of watching a video. All of a sudden screen was huge so I couldn’t access any controls. I’ve tried pressing the volume button then the power button, a 3 finger double tap, and the screen size didn’t change and it wouldn’t turn off. What’s next? Help

Connect your iPad to its Power Adapter - and then perform a forced restart.
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

When I plugged it in to the power adapter I tried the 3 finger double tap to see if the screen would return to normal size. After a minute or two it did and functioned as usual. I didn’t have to do a forced restart this time.

What should I do if my iPad won't turn off?
