How to fix locked iPhone after zoom settings change?

Hi,


I accidently changed my zoom settings on my iphone and now I cannot enter my passcode to unlock my phone. Is there any way of rectifying this? I have tried plugging it into iTunes but still the phone requires I unlock the phone to enable this change.


Thanks


Aidan

Works every time for me. Try varying the speed and timing of the double-tap.


If still no luck, try a Forced Restart. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Quickly tap the Up button

Quickly tap the Down button

Hold the Side button in for 15-20 seconds while you ignore the "slider". Just keep holding the Side button until the Apple logo appears in the center of the screen......then release the Side button.
