How can I reduce the keypad size on my reconditioned iPhone 12?

I have a new iPhone 12 and I am trying to transfer data from my old iPhone 7. I cannot check if the transfer is complete because the keypad on screen is enlarged and I cannot type in my passcode. How can I reduce the text on screen, or move the pin pad on screen so I can type in my passcode??

You have Zoom enabled. Place three fingers together and hold them together, then tap the screen twice to unzoom your screen.

Transferring to a New iPhone:
How are you performing this transfer? If you are transferring to a new iPhone, then you should back up this olde iPhone to a computer > reset your new iPhone to Factory Settings > and then proceed with the Quick Start.

Sigh.......what does that have to do with the fact they've turned Zoom on making it virtually impossible to type on the screen?

Kinda funny when you answer a question too vague that it comes access the wrong way.

There was nothing vague about the 100% correct answer I provided, which was how to unzoom their iPhone screen. But you are certainly entitled to your opinion. You might want to read a question and understand what someone is asking before you answer with something which doesn't address their issue.
