🏮 Lanny’s pointer tip: “Tap Settings, then touch lower & slide UP to tap Display & Brightness!”
👉 Try it now: Tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone, scroll down slightly (touch lower and slide up), and tap Display & Brightness.

Inside Display & Brightness, touch lower on the screen and slide upward slightly until you see Text Size, then tap it (you can also turn on Bold Text right underneath it for darker, clearer letters!).
🔍 What to look for on your iPhone screen: “Text Size” and “Bold Text” rows
🏮 Lanny’s pointer tip: “Slide the page up slightly & tap Text Size!”
👉 Try it now: Tap Display & Brightness, then tap Text Size.
💡 Helpful Note: Turning on “Bold Text” makes thin gray letters much sharper without crowding your screen.
Put your finger on the white circle on the slider at the bottom of your screen. Slide it to the right toward the larger “A” and watch the sample text at the top grow in real time.
🔍 What to look for on your iPhone screen: Slider bar with small “A” on left, large “A” on right
🏮 Lanny’s pointer tip: “Slide that white circle right toward the big A!”
👉 Try it now: Slide the circle left or right until the sample words feel comfortable to read.
💡 Helpful Note: Need it even bigger than this slider allows? Go to Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text.
Tap the top-left Back arrow to return to Display & Brightness, then touch lower on the screen and slide upward to scroll to the very bottom and tap Display Zoom. Choosing “Larger Text” enlarges buttons and Home Screen icons too.
🔍 What to look for on your iPhone screen: “Display Zoom” at bottom of Display & Brightness
🏮 Lanny’s pointer tip: “Scroll up to the bottom, tap Display Zoom, & pick Larger Text!”
👉 Try it now: Keep Standard, or choose Larger Text and tap Done if you want bigger buttons too.
💡 Helpful Note: Your iPhone screen will blink black for two seconds if you switch Display Zoom—that is completely normal.
