iPad keeps slightly zooming in apps and cuts of the content along the sides of the screen

My iPads (both Pro and Basic) randomly keep zooming in various apps, and that cuts off the content along the sides of the screen. I do not have any Accessibility features activated. I have tried double tapping with three fingers but that does not get rid of the problem. The fact that it happens across different models of the iPad suggests it has something to do with the iPadOS rather than the specific device. This significantly diminishes the user experience of the iPad and I would appreciate effective advice on how to fix it. Thanks.

Hi Victor_Land,


If you'd like both of your iPads to display without zooming in, these steps might help.


You mentioned that you checked Accessibility features, that's a great step to take. You also mentioned that this happens in "various apps;" can you list some? Also, let us know if this issue happening in an app like Settings, or Notes.


Additionally, zoom can be activated by a double-tap or pinch as well as Accessibility features. Check out the details from Zoom in on the iPad screen below.


In many apps, you can zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. You can also use the Zoom feature to magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing


If you aren't double-tapping or pinching and the issue remains, let the community know if you have any external devices connected to either of your iPads. We'll want to understand any variables that could be affecting your devices.


We hope that helps with your question and take care!
