How to change font size on iPhone By Peter Wolinski published 2 August 2022 Here's how to change font size on iPhone in just a few easy steps (Image credit: Shutterstock / Primakov) Knowing how to change font size on iPhone is super important if you have trouble reading the text on your phone's screen. Despite being some of the best phones around, even the largest Apple phones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max still have relatively small screens compared to tablets or computers, presenting a challenge for those with visual impairments. If you have reduced eyesight, therefore, or if like me you regularly forget, lose or break your glasses, you may often find yourself needing to adjust your iPhone's text size to be able to read things. Alternatively, you may also want to know how to adjust your font size downwards, if for instance a friend or relative has used your phone and enlarged the font, or if you simply prefer the aesthetic. Whatever the reason, learning how to change font size on iPhone is straightforward, and this guide is here to show you.
