Accessibility Zoom Magnification using window region not working

Has anybody else had an issue with the Zoom magnification window not working when using it as a window region? If I drag the window all the way to the bottom of the screen it gets stuck and I can’t move it. I then have to turn the zoom off and on to reset it. This is happening in both my iPhone 16 pro max and iPad Pro 6th gen. Both are updated to the current IOS. It started about 5 or so updates ago. Prior to this it was working fine. Please fix!

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

As we are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community, unless someone with te same issue answers you here, we have no way of knowing. ie: We have no access to the feedback Apple receives on issues.

Am no expert in this area, yet your post deserves some response;

Wondering why you keep dragging the window to the bottom of the screen if that's what happens.


Apple Support's iOS18 methods for using Zoom may help, or can help to adjust settings if needed:

Zoom in on the iPhone screen - Apple Support

Eg: says you can:

"Move the Zoom lens: (Window Zoom) Drag the handle at the bottom of the Zoom lens."

or

If needed: Have you tried updating the iPhone and iPad to the newest iOS and iPad OS 18.3 to see if that helps.

More info. : About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support

or

Sometimes restarting your iPhone and iPad can help restore order if something is not working as expected.

No-one here has access to Apple's software in order to determine if it needs fixing. Apple is not here:


If you want to provide feedback about an accessibility feature on an Apple product, they may make changes.

You can email the Accessibility team: accessibility@apple.com.


All the best :-)
