Reading text on a smartphone screen can sometimes be a strain on the eyes, especially in certain lighting conditions or when trying to view small fonts. If you find yourself squinting or struggling to make out words on your iPhone, there’s an easy way to enhance readability and provide a more comfortable viewing experience.

‍

We will break down how to increase your font size on both your iPhone or Android based device:

‍

iPhone 

Here’s how to adjust the font size on your iPhone:

• Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone by tapping the gray icon with gears.
• Scroll down and tap “Display & Brightness.”
• Under the “Text Size” section, you’ll see text size adjustment options. The larger the view, the bigger the text and icons will appear on your screen.
• Drag the slider to the right to increase the view and font size. You can see a preview of how the text will look at the different settings.
• Once you’ve found a comfortable view that makes the text easier to read, tap the “Back” button in the top left corner to apply the changes.

‍

You’ve now increased the font size across your entire iPhone, from apps and messages to websites and emails. Everything should appear larger and more legible.

‍

If you’re still having trouble reading certain apps or areas of your iPhone, there’s an additional accessibility setting that can help. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, and turn on “Larger Text.” This will allow you to adjust the font size even further for an extra boost in readability.

‍

With just a few taps, you can customize your iPhone’s display to suit your vision needs perfectly. 

‍

Android 

Here’s how to adjust the font size on most Android phones:

• Open the Settings app by tapping the gear icon.
• Scroll down and tap “Display.”
• Select “Font Size” or “Font Style.”
• Use the slider to increase the font size to your desired level. The preview will show how the text will appear.
• Tap “OK” to apply the larger font size across your device.

‍

That’s it! The fonts in apps, websites, messages, and menus should now be increased to the selected larger size, providing better readability on your Android device.

‍

If you need to increase font size even more, many Android phones also have an accessibility setting for this. Open Settings > Accessibility > Vision > Font Size. This allows you to boost the size even larger than the default maximum.

‍

Some app developers also include their own font size controls within the specific app. So if you only need larger text in a particular app like your web browser or e-reader, look for a “Font Size” option in that app’s settings.

‍

With a few simple taps, you can customize your Android’s display to your perfect text size preferences. Don’t strain your eyes on tiny fonts any longer. Adjust them to a larger, more comfortable size for an improved viewing experience whenever you use your phone.
