Another super-useful one, Gary-thank you! I hadn't realised about the per-app settings, just the global iPhone one; am tweaking my size settings right away!
Excellent! Much needed tutorial for me and my wife because were an old couple using reading glasses when on our iPhones and iPads. Thank you soo much Gary. From both of us.
Hi I’ve recently subscribed to your channel and it was by chance that I did… I’ve recently after 30 years gone from windows Laptop’s to my new MacBook M2 Max . I have to say that your tutorial’s are very well explained and I’ve learnt so much. I’m now into the apple Eco system big time with 3 devices and I feel much more comfortable especially with my Laptop. Us more matured users need refresher explainers to function and features and you show this very well! Thankfully Ive changed to Apple for the laptop to considering my new hobby includes content creation. Still a work in progress though 🤭 Keep those videos coming so great! Thx very much from Vietnam 🇻🇳🙏🏻👍🏼
This is an AWESOME tip, Gary. 👏👏👏 When I tried your tip on Apple's native mail app, (where the text is often way too small compared to, for example, the Outlook mail app), the increase in text size when I move the size slider JUST ONE increment, is HUGE! I would estimate the text increases in size by at least 3 times. So the text goes from too small to too big when you move the text size slider as little as possible! 🤦♂️ What's going on here!? (iPhone 14 Pro Max running latest version of iOS 16)
I'm not sure what you are seeing. But if I go from 100% to 120% (the first step) then it increase about 20%. It does seem so much bigger, but it is about 20%.
@@macmost Hi Gary! I did a little research and it appears that some text responds nicely through the increments (100, 110, 120, 135, 160, ...) In the control center vertical slider. This is often email text "personal" sources that I assume was composed on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. On the other hand, other text does not respond at all until you get to the 160% setting, and then it jumps in size like a mad dog! This is often text from "commercial" sources, like businesses. When I adjust the text size in Settings using the horizontal slider, it only takes a movement of one slider position to cause this huge jump. So I assume the slider in settings increases the size of text in bigger jumps. Does this information help?
@@MrLuigi-oi7gm It is probably because those emails use HTML formatting with specific fonts, sizes, design, etc. They probably have code in them to react to different things going on in the environment, similar to how web pages react to different zoom levels. Not much you can do except adjust as needed on your end.
@@macmost You are awesome for sticking with me on this! All this sounds reasonable. For some reason, Outlook for iOS does a better job with that “problematic” content. But I’d rather use the native email client so I’m going to use your tips to make that a more pleasurable experience. 👍

hello, nice video! i have a problem. the macbook is connected to a 4k monitor and everything is very small. (eyes grow weak) what to do? I need to increase the fonts of the ENTIRE system while maintaining the 4k resolution. I called the apple service, they offered to reduce the resolution to 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 and that's it! Reduced resolution does not suit me, because I want to see a lot of space. I can increase the font size of the web browser, fine, but I can't do it in menus, reminders, calendar, or programs, and it's too small. please help what to do?
Because each website is specifically designed by the developers of the site, not by the app developer. Use other techniques like Reader View if you need to make text more readable there.
It does not work, I have an app called Superlist and font on iPhone 15 pro max is super tiny and none of these method works. Any clues? Lists in Notion the same
Well guess what: it didn’t work for me either when I tried it yesterday, but today the text size was increased in TH-cam, including the all-important comments!

A very useful and informative video tutorial! I’m always learning something new! Thank you, Gary!👏❤️
macmost does it again! Your website is a plethora of info on all that is Apple.
Thanks!
I did not realize you could customize the settings for each app. That is extremely helpful. Thanks for all you are doing for the Apple community.
Very helpful for those of us with more than one vision issue. I use the magnifier a lot also. 3-finger tap to activate it.
THANKS GARY,🤗 FOR HELPING THE OLDER ONES 💚💚💚
Really useful information. Thanks!
You have earned this comment by successfully helping me with my problem. Honestly, pretty happy about this so also gave you a thumbs up lol

This is very useful, but i had to go to system preferences and add text size to control center. It also works on iPadOS.
nice job Gary
Yes, it is very useful!
This was worth another year of patreon to me; thanks Gary!

Thanks bunches
iphone is amazing Sir you are so lucky
It dosen`t work in all apps
Thank you so much my mom was really struggling all app done , but tiktok text still really small
I'd imagine TikTok text is pixels right on the video frames, not text that can be adjusted.
Gary, I have increased my text size for all Apps, but I now have an annoying underline appearing under text. Can I remove the underline? Many thanks 🙏
Maybe you also turned on "Button Shapes" in Settings, General, Accessibility, Display & Text Size?
This is a very basic iPhone settings. Yet I was shocked to see many iPhone users don’t know about this.
Decrease size of text

Sounds like the developer of that particular app doesn’t support this feature.

It is up to the developer of the app to support this.

Which app?
Doesn‘t work for TH-cam. 😂
Annoying, yes. Especially when you are trying to help people by reading comments like right here.
