5S stuck in zoom mode

[amaria1]

Hi. My 5S running iOS 8.0.1 is stuck in zoom mode. Even after multiple reboots, it remains stuck zoomed in. How can I fix this?? Thanks.

Try tapping the screen with three fingers at the same time that should get you out of zoom mode

Also I recommend you update to iOS 8.0.2 as soon as possible because iOS 8.0.1 is a corrupted version

Thanks for the response. I did mean to write 8.0.2. Anyway, tapping with two fingers is not working - it doesn't do anything that I can tell when tapping with two fingers.

Got it sorted. I had to double tap with three fingers. I'm now adjusting the zoom features (Settings/General/Accessibility/Zoom).

Thanks so much. Took a while but it worked with 3 fingers, tapped 3 times. After 3 attempts it worked!

1. double tap the iPad's display with three fingers
2. push home button three times
3. turn off zoom on accessibility shorcut

Thanks jessiekent, that's great to know.

I also found it helpful to review all of the accessibility functions. There were other things turned on that might have surprised me in the future.
