Apple iPhone Zoom Glitch at the Home Screen, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S

iPhone (3GS 32GB with v3.0 software installed) homescreen glitch that causes a zoomed-in appearance can be reversed by simply tapping the iPhone twice with three fingers... I assume this works for the iPhone 4 too, ... let me know....
Its happened to me two times now when I simply hit the home button to activate the home screen. Each time it took me quite a while to figure out how to fix it!

Today I pulled my iPhone 4S out and turned it on, and there it was, the opening screen zoomed WAY in... spontaneously... sure I have the Zoom feature turned on, but i never tapped the screen three times to activate it. It was just zoomed when I hit the home button at the bottom of the iPhone. Spontaneous zoom is real, but ignored by Apple and not even understood to be a problem by Apple or anybody else except the people here who need help when it happens.

All you need to do is put 3 fingers on the screen and scroll till you can see slide to unlock or just tap twice with three fingers and it will toggle the zoom thing. No bullshit fixes :)

@mypodtouch1000 Sorry but slide to unlock does not fix the zoom. And you missed the point of the video.

Not a glitch it is a softwere

[McDaidUSA]

@simalary44 Yes we all know zoom is a feature, however spontaneous zoom is a glitch and that is what we are talking about here.

The autozoom happens because the iPhone 4 has a default setting that if you double-tap with three fingers that it will zoom in. After you do this trick, Go into Settings - General - Accessibility then turn Zoom off so that it will not happen again.

[McDaidUSA]

@cholland24 You miss the point. First you say "autozoom happens" implying that zoom can occur "automatically". But then you go and say "After you do this trick" implying that "you" the iPhone owner, had something to do with "autozoom" in the first place! So when you reflect upon your comment you can see that you have missed the point as well. The point is that "autozoom" is not something the iPhone owner does, instead it is something that happens automatically!!

Hilarious that I spent a day practically using my thumbnail to try and get to the right buttons... was about to head to applestore and fortunately found this. 3 seconds later the phone is fine.

PS. Tapping 3 fingers toggles the Zoom on and off.

So don't worry about having to go to settings to disable the Zoom feature.

Actually, commanding this feature, helps us small print challenged folks :)

Was on my way to the apple store,,,,, thanks again,  dr. dave
