Make the words bigger and easier to read

iPhone · 5 steps

Online Version

1. 1

   Open the grey Settings app

   It looks like grey gears on your home screen, the kind you'd see inside a clock.
2. 2

   Tap the line that says Display & Brightness

   It has a little blue sun next to it. Just tap the words.
3. 3

   Tap Text Size

   You'll see a row of letters that get bigger from left to right.
4. 4

   Slide the little dot to the right until the words feel comfy

   As you slide, the words on screen grow bigger right away. Stop wherever it feels easy on your eyes.
5. 5

   Press the round Home button or swipe up to finish

   That's it. Your phone keeps the bigger words from now on, so you don't have to do this again.
