iPad screen shrunk due to misplaced zoom frame

For those of you that suddenly have an issue with your iPad display screen shrinking, I resolved my issue with that by looking on the bottom right of the display screen for a black curved frame. Grab that frame with your Apple Pencil or finger and drag it to the bottom right corner of your screen. If you have your zoom settings set correctly this will resolve your issue.

Perhaps you have enabled your iPad's Stage Manager feature - that enables resizable App Windows?

Move, resize, and organize windows with Stage Manager on iPad - Apple Support


Stage Manager can be disabled, if preferred, from iPad settings:

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > [Multitasking] - select Split View & Slide Over or Off as preferred
