How to make text bigger on your phone
Make text easier to read on your iPhone or Android phone by increasing the font size in Settings.
Step 1: Open Settings
Tap the Settings app on your home screen. It looks like a grey gear icon.
Step 2: Find Display settings
On iPhone: Tap Display & Brightness, then tap Text Size.
On Android: Tap Display, then tap Font size or Display size (the name varies by phone brand).
Step 3: Drag the slider
You’ll see a slider at the bottom of the screen. Drag it to the right to make text bigger. You’ll see a preview of the text size change as you drag.
Step 4: Check if it’s comfortable
Open a few apps like Messages or your web browser to see how the new text size looks. If it’s still too small, go back and drag the slider further to the right.
