How to make the text bigger on an Android phone

Bigger text makes messages and settings easier to read. Android phones differ by maker, so the names below may be slightly different on yours.

  1. 1Open Settings — usually a grey gear icon.
  2. 2Tap Display.
  3. 3Tap Font size, or Font size and style.
  4. 4Move the slider to the right until the text is comfortable.
  5. 5Press the back arrow, or swipe in from the side, to go back.

If it doesn’t look like this

If you cannot find it, tap the search box at the top of Settings and type font size.

Some phones also have Display size or Screen zoom beside it, which makes buttons bigger too.
