Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off. Then go into: Settings>General>Accessibility & turn it off for good.

Thank God somebody posts this stuff!

Crazy zoom option drops down by mistake at 3:00 AM, phone becomes impossible to power off or reboot, slapping it senseless didn't work to turn it off, one or two fingers didn't work sideways, circles, or back and forth or up and down, holding the home button, etc. no solution except to pray it reverts back after the battery runs out...three fingers. 😕 Now was that double tap or double slap? Thank you again😁.
