Low Vision Accessibility on Apple Products

Since I've upgraded my phone (13 pro max) to iOS 16 (including the latest update 16.0.3) the accessibility zoom controls are completely bugged when I use my phone on landscape mode, making it almost useless. For exemple if I swipe up with three fingers, it goes left, if I swipe right, it goes up etc...

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes!
On an Xs Max iOS 16.0.3, the zoom function is bugged in landscape for sure.
It’s not just scrolling around with three fingers, I am also unable to tap/touch icons or buttons and whatever. It doesn’t register the tap, or thinks the tap was somewhere else on ‘the screen’.

Very annoying. I use the zoom function to zoom up on unoptimized apps, making them full screen. This issue bugs that out.

Report it to Apple like i have:

I’ve worked out that if you just zoom in but don’t at all scroll around, touches are registered correctly, but as soon as you scroll around / move the focus, touch response is off/bugged. Does not happen in portrait though.
