Did you......quickly tap the Up button....quickly tap the Down button.....hold the Side button in until the Apple logo appears in the center of the screen?


You have to keep holding the Side button (ignore the slider) for another 10-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears in the center of the screen....then, release the Side button.


If everything is still too large, Double-Tap the screen with 3 fingers. You may need to vary the speed and timing of the Double-Tap to nail it.
