Customization is one of the things that makes Android so great, but it's for more than just aesthetics. If you have trouble seeing things, you can adjust the size of icons, text, and more. We'll show you how.
Depending on what version of Android you're using (and what type of phone), you may be able to change just the text size or even make everything on the screen larger. We're going to talk about all of those options here—as well as a few other things you can do to make your phone easier to see.
To change the size of app icons on Android, you'll also be changing the size of the text. This is due to the "Display Size" settings, which essentially enlarge the entire phone interface.
First, swipe down once or twice—depending on your phone—to reveal the Quick Settings menu. Select the gear icon to go to the system settings.
Now go to the "Display" settings.
Look for "Display Size and Text" or "Screen Zoom."
Slide the dot on the scale for "Display Size" to adjust the size. You can swipe between the previews to see how things will look.
That's it. The display size will change in real time as you move the dot on the scale.
What if you only want to adjust the size of the text? We can do that too. First, swipe down once or twice—depending on your phone—to reveal the Quick Settings menu. Select the gear icon to go to the system settings.
Now go to the "Display" settings.
Look for "Display Size and Text" or "Font Size and Style."
Slide the dot on the scale for "Font Size" to adjust the text size. You can see a preview of the text at the top of the screen.
That's it. The text size for your entire phone will change with this setting.
Maybe you don't want to make everything on your phone giant permanently. Android's Magnification tool allows you to zoom in on things whenever you want.
First, swipe down once or twice—depending on your phone—to reveal the Quick Settings menu. Select the gear icon to go to the system settings.
Scroll down to "Accessibility."
Select "Magnification." On a Samsung device, you'll need to go to "Visibility Enhancements" first.
Toggle the switch on to enable the "Magnification Shortcut."
Android 12 introduced a visible Magnification Shortcut that floats on the edge of the screen. You can tap this to switch between different magnification modes.
Previous versions of Android have a two-finger gesture to bring up the magnification modes. Simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen with two fingers.
In both cases, you have a number of methods to zoom in while using Magnification.
