    Phone & TabletQuick Tip

    Make text bigger on your iPhone in 30 seconds

    Open Settings (the gray gear icon). Tap 'Display & Brightness.' Tap 'Text Size.' Drag the slider at the bottom to the right until the sample text feels comfortable. Done. Every app that respects iPhone settings, Messages, Mail, Safari, your bank app, will use the new size immediately. If you want even bigger, go back to Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text → turn on 'Larger Accessibility Sizes' and drag the slider further.
