my iphone 5 screen keeps suddenly magnifying

My AT&T iphone 5 screen keeps suddenly magnifying and I cannot easily get it to restart. Because everything is so huge I cannot get to the power off or unlock slider and the touchsreen barely responds, has anyone else seen anything like this? Someone said it was maybe connected to a new camera feature but I cannot find anything to change. It has all the latest updates and is only a month old.


Appreciate any help!

It's possible you have zoom enabled and are inadvertently using a gesture to toggle it on


check your settings, go to settings > general > accessibility. Is zoom on? If you're not visually impaired, you'll most likely want to turn it off


If it was on, it's possible you were toggling the feature by double-tapping with three fingers on your screen at any point. When zoom is activated, the gestures of the phone change, even for normal navigation. You have to use 3 fingers to move around the screen when zoom is on.
