View my app:

view in standard mode

When I turn on Zoomed mode (Setting -> Display -> View), it looks like this:

view in zoomed mode

How can I ignore zoomed mode in application?

    Why would you ignore it? Write your app correctly so your app displays properly for the given screen size. – rmaddy Dec 15 '17 at 16:11

There is no standard way to ignore this accessibility feature in an application if you are using Auto Layout, and for a good reason: it is a help for people with physical disabilities.

Imagine having poor eyesight - having an app that has this useful feature deliberately disabled would be quite frustrating.

That said, if you have a fully relative layout (so the dimensions of every element on the screen is relative to the screen size), your layout will be more or less unaffected by Zoomed Mode.

  • There are programs that look the same in different modes. – ratkevich Dec 15 '17 at 16:12

    You are missing the point @ratkevich, accessibility is something that apps should support as much as possible. I suggest you read through some of this: [iOS Accessibility](https://developer.apple.com/accessibility/ios/) – Jacob Boyd Dec 15 '17 at 16:15

    I don't think the feature is related to accessibility. There are actually 2 kind of zoom, one in accessibility and the other (the one related to this question) is a feature of the display that simply downgrade the resolution and it is available only for some models. Very annoying, indeed (at least in 2020). – Giuseppe Garassino Aug 29 '20 at 17:51
  • Pokemon Go seems to be unaffected by this. Where as Swordy Quest is affected: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swordy-quest-an-rpg-adventure/id1446641513 – Charlie S Dec 19 '20 at 11:13
