watch screen getting zoomed automatically

Sometimes with multiple touches on apple watch series 3 screen, the screen gets zoomed in and I am not able to zoom it out to original size. Right now I am re-starting apple watch to get to original zoom level.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4.2

Hi


With Zoom (an accessibility feature) enabled on your Apple Watch, double-tapping the screen with two fingers activates and deactivates a magnified view on the display:


To disable Zoom:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - turn off.
  • Or on your watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - tap and turn off / on.


If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for Zoom:

  • On your watch: quickly press the Digital Crown (the round button) three times.


To configure the Accessibility Shortcut:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom) > select / deselect Zoom.
