Zooming issue
I know this has been posted before, but customer support asked me to post again!
I have a Samsung S10. I can't zoom out properly. The Game tuning app mentioned by some people does not exist any more.
Now, the interesting thing is that after contacting customer support about a different issue all of a sudden zooming out worked! I wonder whether they changed some setting when they accessed my account. However, they had to access it again and all reverted to how it was, i.e. I can't zoom out again.
Very grateful if anyone has any solution... or if EA finally fix this issue!

Thank you once again for contacting EA Help.
It did indeed work, by downloading 1.8 GB of new files. However, on changing the resolution back, (unsurprisingly) the issue reappeared (again, by downloading the amount above). Obviously I do not want to keep my phone on the lowest resolution.
I therefore installed Samsung Game launcher. In the Game launcher, I activated Game Plugins (icon next to the settings icon on the top right corner of the Game launcher screen that is activated by sliding the edge). In Game Plugins, I went to Game booster plus. First I tried battery saving, then Max FPS. Finally, on selecting "High quality" zooming out worked! I would post an image of how to get to Game Plugins, but there doesn't seem to be an option to edit posts and add images...
Hope this might help other people with a Samsung device.
