Increase or Decrease the Font Size on an iPhone

To start changing your font size, launch the Settings app on your iPhone. In Settings, scroll a bit down and select “Display & Brightness.”

Tap "Display & Brightness" in Settings.

On the “Display & Brightness” page, choose “Text Size”.

Select "Text Size."

At the bottom of the “Text Size” page, you’ll see a slider. To reduce your font size, drag this slider to the left. To increase the font size, drag the slider to the right.

Use the slider to adjust the iPhone font size.

Your iPhone will now display larger or smaller font, depending on what option you chose above. Enjoy!

If you’d like to make your font even bigger, then use the “Larger Text” iPhone accessibility feature as follows.

Launch the Settings app on your iPhone and select General > Accessibility.

Tap "Accessibility."

In “Accessibility,” choose “Larger Text.”

Select "Larger Text."

At the top of the “Larger Text” page, enable the “Larger Accessibility Sizes” option.

Turn on "Larger Accessibility Sizes."

On the same page, at the bottom, drag the slider to the right to increase your font size even further. Drag the slider all the way to the right to make your font the biggest size possible.

And that’s how you make reading the on-screen text easier on your iPhone.

Change the iPhone’s Font Size on a Per-App Basis

If you’re looking to increase or decrease the font size but in a specific app and not system-wide, you can do so using an option in iOS 15 or later.

To start, open Settings on your iPhone and tap “Control Center.”

Select "Control Center" in Settings.

Select “Customize Controls.”

Tap "Customize Controls."

In the “More Controls” section, beside “Text Size,” tap the green “+” icon. This will add the “Text Size” control to your Control Center.
If that item is already listed in the “Include” section, then you don’t have to follow this step.

Tap "+" beside "Text Size."

Now that the item is added to your Control Center, exit out of the Settings app and launch the app in which you want to change the font size.
While that app is open, access Control Center and tap the “Text Size” option. It’s an icon with two “A” in it.

Tap the "Text Size" option.

At the bottom-left corner, tap the app-only option. Then, use the size adjuster to increase or decrease the font size.
