iPhone display very large

I do not know what I've done, but everything on my iPhone is appearing very large.

The opening screen that says "slide to unlock" is so big the words "slide to unlock" do not appear on screen unless you scroll down!!!!!

Once you get to the home screen it only displays four and a half icons because they are so big that's all that will fit on the screen.

Even if you select Calculator or Calendar functions these also appear so big only part fits on the screen.

I have tried rebooting, double clicking and nothing seems to change the size of the screen display. Is there some setting I have accidentally.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Re: iPhone display very large

Sounds like you've enabled some of the accessibility features. I think this can be done by pressing the Home button three times in quick succession, so try doing that and see if the reverse is true.

If not, get into the Settings menu and turn off all accessibility features... especially zoom

Thanks for pointing me towards the Accessibility option. I just needed to double tap with three fingers and my iPhone is now back to normal.

There you go then... learned something about the iPhone tonight.

They should call it 'beer mode'.
