No, when it’s turning the velocity constantly changes it’s not because of the magnitude of the velocity is changing because of its direction.

And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity. For this reason, it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating.
