I can't unlock my iPhone because the screen is zoomed in

author

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

once I chose in settings to zoom in in my iPhone while tapping the screen with 3 fingers
I did that now because I wanted to see something and no I can't zoom out
I'm trying the same thing now to zoom out but I can't
its stuck

author

Can you try to tap twice with three fingers again and tell me what can you see?

Customer Replay

it does nothing

author

Okay, noted!
Please, provide me with the model of your iPhone.

Thank you!
Did you try to reboot your iPhone?

Customer Replay

I tried but when I press the side button i can understand that its trying to but because the screen is zoomed in I can't see that part of the screen to reboot it

author

Noted, thank you!
You can turn the iPhone off and on to restart it, or you can also perform a hard reboot of the iPhone. Performing hard restarts is done as follows:
Press Volume up, then Volume Down, then press and hold the Power button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

Customer Replay

when you say the power button you mean the one that's on the side of the phone?

author

Yes, *****, you are right. The one you lock your phone.

Customer Replay

it doesn't show the apple logo
it shows an emergency call and medical id
