  2. 2Tap Display & Brightness.
  3. 3Tap Text Size.
  4. 4Drag the slider at the bottom to the right until the text is comfortable.
  5. 5Press the Home button, or swipe up from the bottom, to go back.

For text bigger still, go to Settings, then Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, then Larger Text, and turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes.
