Iphone suddenly zoomed out. Tapping screen with three fingers not doing anything

Watching video and suddenly screen zoomed out maximum can do nothing with it. Tapping with three fingers gets no response. Screen colour changed too. Fourth time this has happened. Such a blinking nuisance ! Any one help, other than leaving phone swutched on till battery power cuts out and usually then might reset.

iPad, iOS 10

It's possible your iPhone has an accessibility shortcut setup that is triggering the zoom and color change. Check the following places:


Settings > Accessibility > Zoom


Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap


Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut


Settings > Accessibility > Per-App Settings


(if you have the app installed) Shortcuts > Automations > ensure there aren't any unexpected automations
