Stop Squinting!
3 Simple Ways to Make Your Phone Screen Easier to Read

You don’t need a magnifying glass to read your texts, emails, or news. Your phone has built-in tools that can make everything bigger and clearer — in just a few taps.

If squinting at small text has become a daily frustration, these three simple changes will make a big difference. Best of all, they work on both iPhone and Android and take less than two minutes to set up.

Tip 1: Make All Text Larger (Dynamic Type)

Your phone can automatically make text bigger across apps, messages, emails, and menus.

• 1
  On iPhone Go to Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size. Drag the slider to the right.
• 2
  On Android Go to Settings → Display → Font Size (or Screen Size). Move the slider until text feels comfortable.

Tip 2: Make Letters Thicker and Clearer (Bold Text)

Adding bold text makes letters stand out more, which is especially helpful in bright sunlight or for anyone with vision changes.

• 1
  On iPhone Go to Settings → Display & Brightness and turn on “Bold Text.” Your phone will restart the display.
• 2
  On Android Go to Settings → Display → Font Style or Bold Text and turn it on.

Tip 3: Make Everything Bigger (Display Zoom)

This feature enlarges not just text, but also icons, buttons, and the whole screen layout.

• 1
  On iPhone Go to Settings → Display & Brightness → Display Zoom → choose “Larger Text” or “Zoomed.”
• 2
  On Android Go to Settings → Display → Screen Zoom (or Advanced → Screen Size) and select a larger view.
