I tried googling and I come up with threads and articles from 2014 era. Is anyone having this issue? I tried checking accessibility settings on my iPad, and nothing jumps out at me. I have the iPad Pro 12.9” 2021.

Say, I have 3 tabs open, if I switch between one, it will auto-zoom super huge and I’d have to pinch to zoom out. If I go to another tab (while not all the time), it will often do the same thing.

Anyone know how to fix this or know what is causing it?
 
Try this
  1. Open the Settings app on the iPad.
  2. Scroll down and choose the Safari browser from Settings.
  3. From Safari Settings, select the Page Zoom Safari option.
  4. Within the window, tap to select the Zooming level.
You can choose either to zoom larger or smaller by selecting the best zooming percent. Anything lower than default 100% will be smaller than actual and vice-versa.

Page Zooming Level in Safari iOS and iPadOS


This will zoom the screen by default to whatever percentage you’ve selected in the zooming section. You can also zoom the screen with pinch-out action on the screen just like we do for photos and others.

You can always reset the zoom safari to the default value from the same settings menu.

Thought it resolved itself, but nope. Still there when rapidly switching tabs, one will zoom in super close.
 
I still have this issue on iPadOS 16.2 (latest one). I’m realllllly hoping it’s a setting I’m overlooking. Shameless bump if anyone happens to be experiencing this and knows a fix! :p
 
I also have this problem in ipadOS 17.1 extremely annoying. Ipad pro is the worst device I bought its so infuriating I’m going to sell all my apple devices.

I can easily reproduce when switching from tradingview and github, when i go back to tradingview the page is auto zoomed in.

the only browser that works fine is firefox, it doesnt have the weird auto zoom issue BUT password autofill doesn’t work as nicely as safari, basically everything is broken for me in ipados apart from casual media consumption
 
I think it has to do with having a keyboard attached. I have learned to live with it, but it seems more prevalent when I have it attached.

I tried duplicating with M1 12.9 Pro, 17.0.3, MKB attached and was unable to do so. Tried with a lot of tabs, switching rapidly among them.
