Texting font size suddenly way too big. How to reduce size??

[Wax Bean Tycoon]

I have a Motorola moto g play. All of a sudden, the font size for text messages is very large. Much larger than I want. I did not mess with any settings. I restarted the phone, and it didn't fix it.

If I go to settings >Display>Display size and text and change the Font Size and Display size, it does not change the font size for text messages, but instead changes font size and display size broadly on the phone.

Did a convenient update change this?

FOUND IT!!! There is ao "pinch to zoom" feature while texting, which I did not know about. Jeez. I will leave this post up in case someone in the future stumbles on this same issue
