Automatic zooming

[ldutton]

My children got onto my iPad and started to navigate a game with both of their hands during a zoom function. Now my device remains on the maximum zoom view, even after leaving the game, preventing me from viewing and thus operating/manipulating the device. I've already restored the device, granted after the zooming got stuck, and it remains in the maximum zoom view. Any suggestions to getting it back to normal?

Tap with three fingers and it will go back to normal, then go into settings, general,accessibility and turn off zoom.

Boy do I feel stupid - after I did it and it worked, I hazily recalled there was a zooming feature that one could activate, but didn't realize what manouvers to use. Thanks!

Don't you mean "tap three times'?

Three fingers at once.

We've all come across this at some stage

Tap once with 3 fingers at the same time. Then go to settings> accessibility > and turn zoom off so this cannot happen accidentally.
