Try to tap 2 (two) times with 3 (three) fingers on the screen when it happens, I'm not sure if it will help, but I do hope for it.

You're turning zoom on, double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off, then go into Settings>General>Accessibility and turn zoom off for good.

Nope, that doesn't work. I have the same problem.

It also enlarges photos & web pages so much I have to move them around to see the whole pic.

Zoom is not on. Double clicking with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers does nothing. 5 fingers will size the whole window, but not the window content.

Setting a pic for the home screen is the same. Although the screen says to size & position the pic I choose from my iPhotos, it pops back to the zoomed level when I remove my hand from the screen.

It's hard to see any window you're typing into in safari because it's so zoomed in.

When I go into Settings>General>Accessibility, no zoom is turned on.
