Community Q&A
- QuestionWhen the iPhone screen is zoomed and I cannot see or access the zoom control button, can I get out of zoom without turning off the phone?
CamissoniaCommunity AnswerYou can set zoom as an accessibility shortcut in Settings. Accessibility shortcuts are activated when you triple-click your home button (or power button on newer devices). By connecting the control feature to an external button rather than an on-screen switch, you don't need to worry about an enlarged display hiding the zoom control button. - QuestionI turned off Zoom but I am still in the meeting.
SashaCommunity AnswerDid you click the red button with something that looks like a phone inside it? It is at the bottom. This will work with most video calling apps. - QuestionThe Zoom app is still there.
Community AnswerTry holding it for a long time (to start editing the iPhone/iPad) until the editing page comes (look for small crosses on each app). Then press the cross on a Zoom app, and when a pop-up sign comes saying if you are sure you want to delete it, click yes. The Zoom app will be deleted.
