The icons on my 5s have suddenly enlarged and I can't do anything with them. This is my 3rd iPhone and is it ever a pain. At 86 years old I've grown to hate u!

The icons on my 5s have suddenly enlarged and I can't restore them to a normal look. I'm 86 years old and fast coming to hate the phones I used to love so much. this is my 3rd iPhone. I was formerly the Publisher of Popular Electronics Magazine and knew Mr. Jobs personally. Your success has made you come told despise the little guy, even though I have an iMac, iPad and this is my third iPhone. Now I have to go to bed and wake up with no phone. I feel cheated!!

Apple is not here - this is a user to user technical support forum. Your icons are enlarged because your device is in Zoom mode. Tap on the screen 2 times with 3 fingers to get out of Zoom mode. If you want to turn off Zoom mode permanently so you don't accidentally get into it again go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom, and turn it Off.


Best of luck,

Edgar - glad I was able to help. Just remember that help will always be given at Hogwarts for those who ask for it....(sorry - just finished re-watching Harry Potter recently....) 🙂


But really, there are a lot of really experienced folks who participate on this forum regularly, and they know a lot of stuff! When things get frustrating, just post your question here and we will all try to help!


Cheers,
