How To Make Text Larger For Specific Apps In iOS 16

Aside from the global setting to change the text larger on your device, you can actually change the text size in each app according to your preference in iOS 16. Any app that can be found on your device can be added to this setting so that it will have texts slightly bigger or smaller than others. 

Estimate Cost : 0

Time Needed : 5 minutes

People who might have sight issues or those who can’t easily read small texts might find this setting useful. There might be an app that you often use but can’t read the words and labels properly because they’re too small. While you can fix that by changing the general text size of your device, doing so will also affect the appearance of other apps. 

Your option is to change the text size for that specific app and you can do that easily. Here’s how it’s done: 

  1. Go back to the Home Screen and tap Settings.
