How to Make Text Bigger on iPhone.

3 Ways to Make Text Larger on iPhone

There are three main ways to make text bigger on your iPhone:

1. System-Wide Text Size Adjustment

This changes text size everywhere – in apps, menus, and messages:

1. Open Settings
2. Tap Display & Brightness
3. Select Text Size
4. Drag the slider right to increase size

You can set minimum and maximum limits in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text.

2. Enable Bold Text

For thicker, easier-to-read letters:

1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness
2. Toggle on Bold Text
3. Restart your iPhone when prompted

3. App-Specific Text Scaling

Some apps (like Messages or Mail) let you adjust text size separately:

1. Open the app
2. Look for text size options in settings (usually under “Display” or “Appearance”)

How to Make Messages Text Larger

For just your Messages app:

1. Open Messages
2. Tap a conversation
3. Pinch out with two fingers to zoom text

Extra Large Text Options

If you need even bigger text:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom
2. Enable Zoom for magnification
3. Use triple-tap with three fingers to activate

What These Changes Affect

• Larger system text works in most Apple apps
• Some third-party apps may not support it
• Menus and buttons will adjust automatically
