how do i disable the double tap zoom feature on my android tablet

Solution
I'm using elipsis 7 and literally just figured it out. I type so fast that it thinks I triple tap sometimes.

Settings--systems-tap on accessibility--system-tap on magnification gestures. Turn it off.
Good luck!

Go to Settings--Accessibility --Vision (Categories)-- & turn on/off Magnification gestures ... or else you can simply triple tap to shrink the screen again to normal.

It's really annoying, esp when you're playing a game and need to tap repeatedly to shoot. The screen zooms, throwing you off your focus.
Please don't say, 'just don't play games'.

1. Open Settings application
2. Under System settings, go to Accessibility menu. (On some devices you may change tab, or you may find it under Personal settings)
3. Tap Magnification Gestures.
4. Make sure to turn it off, otherwise you can Pan or Adjust zoom level by tapping the screen, as described in the menu

Thank you so much Trenzalore, for getting what the problem was (typing so fast that it seems like a double/triple tap) and for providing a solution. It was SO annoying and I couldn't find a solution in keyboard settings or Language and input.
Blessings!

On my Samsung Tab 10 in, it is:
Settings » Device » Accessibility » Vision » Magnification Gestures -- tap or slide slider until On changes to Off (Mine was stubborn, so I had to try quite a few times)

Hope this works for you.

Thanks for your answer. This triple tap zoom (4 for me) with a blue border just appeared several weeks ago and it has been driving me crazy. Following your instructions, you can get actual instructions on how to use all the zoom features built into a Android Op. System. You can also turn it off if you choose. The browsers have their own zoom features which you can turn on and off within their settings as needed.
