My iphone 5 screen keeps suddenly magnifying

My AT&T iphone 5 screen keeps suddenly magnifying and I cannot easily get it to restart. Because everything is so huge I cannot get to the power off or unlock slider and the touchsreen barely responds, has anyone else seen anything like this? Someone said it was maybe connected to a new camera feature but I cannot find anything to change. It has all the latest updates and is only a month old.
Appreciate any help!

It's possible you have zoom enabled and are inadvertently using a gesture to toggle it on
check your settings, go to settings > general > accessibility. Is zoom on? If you're not visually impaired, you'll most likely want to turn it off
If it was on, it's possible you were toggling the feature by double-tapping with three fingers on your screen at any point. When zoom is activated, the gestures of the phone change, even for normal navigation. You have to use 3 fingers to move around the screen when zoom is on.

  • IPhone screen keeps going blank

    My iPhone screen keeps going blank. If I reset the phone, it comes back on but after a while, it goes blank again. I don't know what to do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My iphone screen is too magnified thus can't open it to use it using password

    I recently accepted an update, afterwards i went to use my iphone and noticed the screen was too magnified, can not swipe to enter pass-code, everything is grossly magnified. What can I do?

    Hello picino1, 
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you’re running into an issue unlocking your iPhone 4s because the screen is magnified. Try disabling the Zoom feature as shown in the article linked below.

    HHow do I keep my iPhones screen from timing out when watching videos. I never had this problem until recently

  • Colours on my Iphone screen keep messing up

    My Iphone keeps showing everything in strange colours and sometimes then crashes to a blank screen,
    this used to only happen when i went on camera but now it happens all the time, whats wrong and how can i fix it?

    This could be a hardware problem with the LCD screen or cable.
    It's possible to get this replaced. See: How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD)

  • My Iphone screen is suddenly very hard to read. The light has disappeared after it had been wet.

    My screen is hardly not readable anymore. The light has disappeared, probably after it got wet. Any idea about what I can do to fix it?

    This is called "No Backlight Problem", most commonly assciated with water exposure.
    Before opening and during any repair on the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone must be OFF or you risk more damage to your iPhone.
    10% cause is due to faulty LCD Display, to determine test your LCD Display on another iPhone 3GS or try a new LCD Display on your iPhone. If your LCD is fine, then next step.
    80% cause is due to 6r8 Coil on Logic Board. This 1 dollar part must be carefully removed and replaced (soldered) to Logic Board. If still No Backlight Problem, then next step.
    10% cause is due to any number of Logic Board problems between the 6r8 coil and the #1 Connector on the Logic Board.

  • My iPhone screen keeps locking up but phones appears to still be powered...

    Sometimes when I get off a call or close out of an application, the screen on my phone will go black. The phone will still be powered on as this has happened when someone was calling me and it was vibrating due to the ring. I've tried to hold down the power button to power the phone off but instead of giving me the slide option to turn it off, it does nothing. Sometimes it will stay black for a few seconds, other times a few hours. I've tried plugging it into my pc and connecting to iTunes, plugging it into the wall socket as if I'm charging it, and even plugging it into a car charger to see if this would somehow reset the screen and nothing. Any suggestions? I've only had the iPhone for about 8 months and other than this, completely love it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Tap tap, is this thing on? Anyone else have any issues similar to this?

  • IPhone screen keeps going black and buttons are unresponsive

    Hey everyone, I left my iPhone 5 on charging and woke up to find the screen black, as if it's been turned off. None of the buttons work and neither does hooking it up to the computer. I held the power and home button together to reset it and turn it back on. Luckily it worked, but after an hour or two the screen went black again. This has happened four or so times since yesterday and is getting quite annoying. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings without using any backup:

    If this does not work, contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • My screen keeps suddenly dimming, why?

    It's not like when you leave your computer for a couple minutes and it goes to sleep, its happening constantly. It doesn't get completely dark, just dims and then lights back up again.

    Boot from your install DVD and see if it does it. If it does, you have a hardware issue.

    Hi shahminan_bakar,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If these steps don't resolve your issue, you may need to backup and restore the device:

    Hope this helps ...

  • My screen keeps blowing up and freezing up

    Occasionally my iphone screen will suddenly blow up to twice its normal size and lose its scrolling ability so I can't move around the screen.  It's not because I have tapped the screen and can only be fixed by rebooting the phone.  Today when I made a phoe call the phone screen shrank to a small image in the upper left corner of the screen and none of the buttons were corresponding to their actual locations - I couldn't terminate the phone call!  I had to press the power button to end it.  Then I had to reboot to get the screen back to normal size again.  This is happening more and more frequently.  Anyone else had this problem?

    I'd start by disabling the Zoom function in the Accessibility section of Settings.

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS keep powering off into a black screen with what looks like a barcode displayed?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps powering off at any point when between 5 and 50% battery remains.
    I could be in the middle of texting, receiving a call or using an app when all of a sudden the screen goes black and very faint randomly distributed lines are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom. The display looks a little like a barcode. I am then unable to restart the phone without plugging it into a power supply. I've looked on the Internet and cannot find a similair case.
    It is so frustrating and I am continually thinking it will crash at any point.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck
