I have an iPhone 3SE and the display on the keyboard just enlarged to a point that I cannot even enter my password to get into the phone to make adjustments

Short summary:

  1. Press and hold the Lock/Power button (on the right side of the phone) until the power-off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
  3. Wait 30 seconds before turning your device back on.
  4. To turn your device back on, press and hold the Lock/Power button until you see the Apple logo.
  5. If the issue persists, try pressing and releasing the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, followed by the Lock/Power button to turn off the phone.
  6. Wait 30 seconds before turning your device back on.

Could you please open the numbers and place two fingers on the floating keyboard? Then try to spread your fingers apart to enlarge the keyboard back to its normal size, then let go

Customer Replay

no, it is not doing anything

I see, thank you!
Have you tried to restart your phone?

  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
