Has anybody ever seen this!??

My friend sees this Square “magnifier” object appear randomly on his iPhone X running iOS 11. Apparently he says it allows him to make text larger and zoom into it. He doesn’t know why or how it appears and I don’t either. It goes away when he restarts his phone but will eventually appear again. Any thoughts?

[doublepost=1511496997][/doublepost]In settings under accessibility turn off zoom. The zoom feature gets launched by certain finger taps so they are probably activating by accident

Yeah I found out by accident myself, multiple times. It annoyed me so much, I turned it off in accessibility options and hadn’t shown up since.

Edit: I had snapped the wrong option, it should be zoom. Not magnifier. Sorry, read the description of the option and didn’t make sense. Correct snapshot attached

It’s a 3 finger tap on the screen.
