Iphone font size

Does anyone know how to make the font size on the screen of my iphone larger? I can enlarge the maps and web by pulling on the screen, but the contact pages are a bit small to see without reading glasses. Thank you.

In a word, no.
What you see is what you get.

Note that this only works in some of the default apps such as Mail and Messages.

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

The font size in mail on my iPhone changed with OS 7.1.1

My iPhone 5 recently went to OS7.1.1. I don't know what happened but the size of the text in my received emails just got smaller to the point of where I can hardly read them.
How do I change this or how to I go back to the previous version?

Thank you but I got that figured out. The issues is in that the text from incoming Emails are so small it is difficult to read. If you increase the font size using what you suggested, incoming is easier to read but when you compose a new email it is like getting far fewer words on the screen because the text is so large.
Something changed in the new version of the operating system!

How do you enlarge the font size on lync Iphone App?

I have my default on my iphone 5 set to large, but the lync app font is far too tiny for me to read. I can't find a setting to enlarge the font on this app.

So far there is no feature to change the font size on mobile device for Lync mobile client.

How do i change the incoming font size in mail on the iphone 4s

I have just set up my new Iphone 4s
and I cant find the setting to change the font size for my email its so small i cant read it

I think this is because some people send email in HTML or Rich Text, and they control the fonts and sizing. iOS will only show the large font if the messages are sent in Plain Text.

IPhone Safari Font Sizes are bad

Anyone else notice the bad font sizes in iPhone Safari?
I am writing a web site and am having trouble getting safari to render fonts on the iphone the same way they are rendered on safari... I tried changing the font-family to Verdana and Arial since those are supposed to be supported on both the iPhone and Mac Safari but that did not fix it...
As a great example go to google and search for something on your iphone.
The word "Sign in" on the top right is too large...
The word "Web" (right under the search box) is too small...
The other words in the blue bar with "Web" are also too large...
Right now my current solution is to pin point things that are too small and too large and on a case by case basis change the font sizes for those elements... This is pretty ridiculous when you have a large site and lots of pages...

Sweet your thing wasnt right but pointed me to the right location:
I just needed:
html {-webkit-text-size-adjust:none}

I rebooted my Iphone 5S, when I pressed the home button to enter my pass code the resolution must have been reset. The font size is so large I can not enter my pass code. How can I resolve this issue?

Triple click Home.
After you get into the iPhone, Settings > General > Acessibility and set Zoom to Off.

After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting new glasses!! Also the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before. Any ideas?

Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts?

Iphone ios 7 safari font size (not again)

does anyone read the forum using iphone ios 7 and find that the text too small?
The only way is to pinch to zoom but it doesn't fit in screen. No way to adjust font size in the browser and fit the screen.
Irritating ever since the beginning...

Hi LexGear,
The first troubleshooting steps that I would suggest for you is to simply restart your phone, then reset your phone if the issue persists:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Way to large font size - iphone 6

Any idea how to fix the font size on apps? My comcast email is also very large. I've already tried the font size under general settings and that didn't work.

Are you using the Zoomed view or Standard view? Change that under Settings.

How can I change the font size of an outgoing instant message using Applescript?

Text copied into Messages.app from a web page is often too small to read. Is there a quick way to boost the font size using Applescript?

HI,
I have spent some time looking at the Mix Message Case.scpt in Hard Drive/Library/Scripts/Messages and also Crazy Message Text.scpt in the same Scripts Folder but then the Mail one.
Both are Apple versions.
The Mix Case one is set in Messages > Preferences > Alerts
Set the top drop down to Sent Message
Enable the Applescript items and chose the Mix Case item.
It will look something like this in the current Font and size you have set.
ThEn aGaIn
Obviously you don't want all the bit to make the font change between upper an lower case but it does have the option to use it with the Sent Message and it also uses the entry in the text field as a String.
The Mail Crazy Message one opens a dialogue box when run.
it has a default phase and some Upper and lower limits to the size that will be used.
the Dialogue allows you to change the phrase and also "Set Prefs" to altert the font sizes.
The result is a text palce in a new Mail items and the font and size changes to look like this:-
Picture
It will look different everytime and the Font for each character and the size of each is randomised.
Although I have tried sticking in a line to change the size to anything other then my set font in the Mixed Case one I can't get it to work.
In some cases I get an Script error in Messages (It seems to think I am setting a Font called "10")
At other times it just says it can't set it buit still does the Mixed Case bit.
My hope was to change the size and then reduce the requirement for the "intercaps" routine.
I have other emails about new posts so I will anwser them and then spend some more time on this.
