Troubleshooting Zoom Issues on Apple Watch

It is posible that your Apple Watch’s zoom feature has been inadvertently activated, making the display appear larger than normal. This can happen from accidental contact with the digital crown button, which is located on the right side of the watch. To fix this issue, you can try pressing the digital crown three times to instantly zoom out your Apple Watch. If that does not work, you may need to use your Apple Watch’s mobile app to manually adjust the zoom settings.

Reversing Magnification on a Watch

To unmagnify a watch, double-tap and hold with two fingers on the display, then drag your fingers down. This will decrease the magnification level. To further reduce the magnification, tap the minus button on the Maximum Zoom Level slider.

To unzoom your iPhone, double-tap the screen with three fingers (without lifting your fingers after the second tap), then drag down. Alternatively, triple-tap with three fingers, then drag the Zoom Level slider to the left until you reach a comfortable magnification level.
