How to change text size in Safari on iPhone

There are a few stock Apple apps that we avoid, but Safari isn’t one of them. From its streamlined look to its auto ad-blocking, the Safari web browser for iPhone is one of Apple’s most polished default mobile apps.

Depending on which iPhone you have , you may find the volume or size of text on the screen is too much, too little, too big or too small. The iPhone SE is a masterclass in miniature iOS, but with a 4in display you can’t fit much text on there.

On the other hand, the ginormous tall 6.5in screen on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is poised ready to show you reams of text from websites. But because it is dependent on each website as to how large text will display, you might find that you want to change it.

To better tweak your iPhone Safari reading experience to suit you, you can adjust the text size of individual websites or for all of Safari. From there, you can then monitor and maintain those settings for all mobile sites, or for some select ones. Here’s how.

Changing the text size on Safari for iPhone

The first way is simple, so dive right in.

• Open Safari and navigate to the desired website.
• When it has loaded, Safari will display with an ‘aA’ icon at the top left of the display. Tap this to see a menu.
• You can then tap the small ‘A’ to reduce text size or the large ‘A’ to increase it.

The text size will change each time to show you the changed web page. Just tap away from the menu when you’re happy with the size.

Your iPhone will cleverly remember this preferred text size for the domain you’re visiting – so in this case, our iPhone will keep macworld.co.uk at 85% every time we visit it, no matter the exact page.

This is handy if one or more of your frequently visited websites on Safari has a text size you find too big or too small on your iPhone. Adjust away.

Changing the text size for all sites

If you’d rather change the default text size for all sites you visit using Safari, here is how.

Go to Settings > Safari > Page Zoom . Here you can see the iPhone has remembered to display macworld.co.uk at 85%.

If you change any other website text sizes within Safari itself, they will also appear here in a list.

If you want to change the text size for all other websites, effectively adjusting Safari’s default text size:

• Tap one of the options below the ‘other websites’ tab to reduce or increase the size.

Using these tips you can adjust the text size for Safari on your iPhone without changing the text size of the entire iPhone’s operating system. If you do want to do that, read How to get bigger text on iPhone .

How to Make Text Bigger in Safari for iOS

This article introduces you to the Website View menu's text size controls, which allow you to adjust the font size of a web page. In many cases, these controls work even if the website doesn't natively support zooming.

You can find the Website View menu in what's called the Smart Search field at the top of the Safari interface. Launch the app and navigate to a website, then tap the "aA" icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

The great thing about the Website View menu is that Safari will remember your preferences for that specific website and apply it automatically the next time content is loaded from the same parent URL.

Helpfully, all the zoom settings you've chosen for specific websites appear in the Settings app: simply tap Page Zoom , which you can find under "Settings for Websites".

How to Increase Font Size in Safari on iPhone and iPad

Updated on:

Gone are the days when you used the Safari feature “pinch-to-zoom” to increase the font size of a website on iPhone or iPad. With the latest features of iOS 13, Safari has got revamped! Right from managing your Safari downloads to closing Safari tabs automatically , it just got easier to use Safari. And now, to make the text bigger on Safari is not a pinch-to-zoom game anymore!

While you can still read the content by zooming in or zooming out, you need to scroll either way as it doesn’t fit on your screen. But with the recent changes in Safari, you don’t need to scroll or zoom in to increase the font size of a website on the iPhone or iPad. Today, I am going to share a simple method through which you can make the text bigger on Safari.

How to Make Text Bigger in Safari on iPhone and iPad

Step #1. Launch Safari app on iPhone and open a website of your choice, say, for example, iGeeksBlog.com

Step #2.  On the left top corner in the address bar, tap on “aA” symbol .

Step #3.  Now tap on the larger “A” that appears on the right side and keep tapping on it until you get the text size of your desire. It can zoom in up to 300%.

Step #4.  You can also decrease the font size of the web page by tapping on smaller “A” which is on the left side. It can zoom-out up to 50%.

That’s how simple it is to increase and decrease the font size in Safari on your iPhone and iPad running on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 respectively.

If you do not want to repeat the same process for all the websites, you can simply specify a fix zoom percentage for all the websites you want to read regularly.

How to Set a Bigger or Smaller Text Size for All Websites in iOS 13 Safari App

You need not use the above method every time to make a text smaller or bigger in Safari. You can set a fixed zoom percentage for all the websites by just changing a few settings given below. Here you go!

Step #1.  Open Settings App and head over to Safari option.

Step #2.  Scroll down to “ Settings for Websites ” section and tap on Page Zoom option.

Step #3.  Firstly, you’ll find a list of websites under “Page Zoom ON” which you have already zoomed-in or zoomed-out. Tap on that website to set font size.

Or head over to “Other Websites” section and tap on 50% or 100% or 200% or 300% whichever is suitable for better reading.

If you select a smaller font size, it might be difficult to read. So it’s recommended to always go above 100% font size for best reading experience in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

Closing Thoughts!

This is so far the best feature I loved in Safari as it enhances my overall experience when I select a font size of my choice. Did you try this feature on your iPhone or iPad? If not, try it now by using the above-given guide.

How to make text bigger in Safari for all web pages

Learn how to make the text bigger in Safari for every website to see things more clearly when browsing the web on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

While there’s sort of an unofficial standard when it comes to text size for a webpage, you’ll come across one or two along the way that use a very small font. And even if you don’t, you might simply have a little trouble viewing the text on pages clearly.

What you might not realize is that with one simple setting, you can always see the text in a larger size in Safari.

Change the font size in Safari on Mac

• Open Safari and click Safari > Settings or Preferences from the top menu bar.
• Choose the Advanced tab.
• Check the box next to Accessibility for Never use font sizes smaller than and pick a size from the drop-down box. You can try out different sizes and see the changes immediately within Safari. This lets you pick the right one for you.

Close the Safari Settings pane and then enjoy browsing the web without squinting.

Change Safari’s font size on iPhone or iPad

The simplest way to change the font size in Safari on your iPhone or iPad is to use the View Menu button in the address bar. While this change will only apply to the site you’re visiting, the setting will be remembered each time you visit that domain, even if you close the tab and reopen it.

• With a webpage open in Safari on your iOS device, tap the View Menu button in the address bar.
• Tap the large A on the right to increase the size or the small A on the left to decrease it.

And remember, you can also use the Reader View and adjust the per-site settings for Safari on iOS.

Many people don’t take the time to explore the accessibility options on their devices unless they really need to. But some terrific features can make your device experience so much better. And this is one of them.

Change the font size or zoom level of web pages in Safari

In Safari 10 on macOS Sierra, you can adjust the font size or zoom level to see web pages better.

Change the font size

• To increase the font size, press Option-Command-Plus sign (+)
• To decrease the font size, press Option-Command-Minus sign (-)

Or you can go to the View menu and hold down the Option key while you select Make Text Bigger or Make Text Smaller.

Change the zoom level

You can increase or decrease the zoom level – both text and images – of pages that you view in Safari on macOS Sierra. Safari will remember your settings until you clear your History. 

• To increase the zoom level, press Command-Plus sign (+)
• To decrease the zoom level, press Command-Minus sign (-)

Or go to the View menu and select Zoom in or Zoom out.

Clear history to reset the font size and zoom level

In the History menu, select Clear History. Then click Clear History again.

• How to change your iPhone’s text size for a specific app

In iOS 15, you can have a different text size for each app

By Barbara Krasnoff , a reviews editor who manages how-tos. She’s worked as an editor and writer for almost 40 years. Previously, she was a senior reviews editor for Computerworld.

Sometimes you want the text in your app to be smaller, so you can fit more content on a single screen. Sometimes you want it to be bigger, especially if you’ve been putting off buying those reading glasses. But until recently, if you had an iPhone, you had to pick a single text size as a standard for all your apps.

Not anymore. In iOS 15, you can adjust the text size separately for each of your apps. So you can, for example, keep the text small for your email, but make it a bit larger in Twitter — or vice versa. (Thanks to @OmarShahine for the info.)

If you’ve got iOS 15, here’s how you can adjust the text size for each app.

First, you need to make sure the “Text Size” option is in your iOS Control Center:

• Swipe from the upper-right corner to get to your Control Center. Check to see if “Text Size” is there.
• If it isn’t, then quit Control Center and go to “Settings” > “Control Center.”
• Under the “More Controls” subhead, find “Text Size” and tap the plus sign on the left to add it to your included controls. This will add it to your Control Center.

Once that’s done, it’s simple to tweak the text size for each app:

• Open the app that you want to configure.
• Swipe from the upper-right corner to get to Control Center.

• Tap the “Text Size” icon (the one with the small and large A’s).
• At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a toggle on the left for that specific app (for example, the left side of the toggle will say “Twitter Only,” and the right side will say “All Apps.”) Move the toggle to the left.
• Once that’s done, use the main control in the center of the screen to set the text size for that app, and then tap anywhere on the screen to get back to the Control Center.

• Swipe up to get rid of the Control Center and you’ll return to your app. You should see the difference in the text size immediately — but that difference will not be reflected in other apps.

And, of course, if you want to switch back to a standard text size, just go back to the Control Center, select “Text Size,” and move the bottom toggle to “All Apps.” But be aware that you’ll be resetting all your apps to that text size.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to increase font size in safari for iphone & ipad on ios 13 / ipados 13.

Ever wished you could increase the font size of text on any webpage in Safari on iPhone or iPad? Now you can easily adjust web text size with any iPhone or iPad running iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later.

When Apple announced iOS 13 earlier this year there was a lot for iPhone and iPad users to look forward to. The ability to increase the size of fonts when browsing the web is one feature that didn’t get all that much love, yet it’s one that could make a big difference to those who struggle to read their favorite websites, or if you’d just like a little more customization for how big (or small) text appears on webpages in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

Just like on a Mac , changing the text size makes websites much easier to read. It’s a great little feature and one that certainly could have been used before iOS 13 as well. But now that it’s here, you’ll need to know how to use it.

How to Increase the Font Size in Safari on iPhone & iPad

• Open Safari and navigate to a website of your choice. We’d suggest osxdaily.com for obvious reasons
• Tap the button to the left of the address bar, it looks like two capital “AA” characters side-by-side, this will reveal a drop-down menu with display options for that webpage

• Now tap the larger “A” button to increase the size of the font. If you’d like to reduce text size, tap the smaller “A” button

• The page will immediately reflect your changes. Once you have your desired font size, tap anywhere on the page to close the menu and browse the web as usual

This text size setting is persistent, too. That means that the next time you visit the same website your font size settings will automatically be restored and you won’t need to change them again.

You can adjust font sizes for as many webpages or websites as you visit, so if you want one site to have larger text, and another to have smaller text, just customize it as shown above on a per-site basis.

Other Handy Options in the Same Safari Menu

There are some other handy options in the same menu, too. They include:

• Show Reader View:  This opens the webpage in Safari’s Reader view, removing all formatting and ads and allowing you to customize the appearance of Safari reader view to your liking (this also worked as a way to increase Safari text size in older iOS versions )
• Hide Toolbar: This button removes all of the Safari interface, making it easier to see more of the website. Tap the top of the screen to restore it.
• Request Desktop Website: Tap this if Safari automatically displayed a mobile version of the website but you’d rather see the desktop version.
• Website Settings:  This houses other settings specific to the current website including whether you want to use Reader mode or the desktop website every time you visit it.

You’ll obviously need iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later to have access to these new features in Safari, as earlier versions of iPhone and iPad system software do not include the same functionality.

Safari has received plenty of attention from Apple as part of the latest iOS 13 updates and it’s a more capable browser than ever. It’s arguably been the best mobile browser since the iPhone launched in 2007 and now it’s even better.

If you’re running the latest versions of iOS 13 or iPadOS on your device, give this great Safari text size trick a try yourself.

Increase or decrease the font size on an iphone, make your iphone's font even bigger, change the iphone's font size on a per-app basis.

To make reading the on-screen content easier, you can increase or decrease the font size on your iPhone. You have multiple ways to do this, including system-wide as well as on a per-app basis. We'll show you your options.

Your iPhone can change the font size only in Dynamic Type -supported apps. These apps include Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Phone, Notes, and more. If you aren't sure about an app, change the font size and see if it's reflected in your app.

Related: How to Change a Website's Text Size in Safari for iPhone and iPad

To start changing your font size, launch the Settings app on your iPhone. In Settings, scroll a bit down and select "Display & Brightness."

On the "Display & Brightness" page, choose "Text Size."

At the bottom of the "Text Size" page, you'll see a slider. To reduce your font size, drag this slider to the left. To increase the font size, drag the slider to the right.

Later, you can come back to this page to readjust your font size.

Your iPhone will now display larger or smaller font, depending on what option you chose above. Enjoy!

If you'd like to make your font even bigger, then use the "Larger Text" iPhone accessibility feature as follows.

Launch the Settings app on your iPhone and select General > Accessibility.

In "Accessibility," choose "Larger Text."

To make your font bold , then on the "Accessibility" page, turn on the "Bold Text" toggle.

At the top of the "Larger Text" page, enable the "Larger Accessibility Sizes" option.

On the same page, at the bottom, drag the slider to the right to increase your font size even further. Drag the slider all the way to the right to make your font the biggest size possible.

And that's how you make reading the on-screen text easier on your iPhone.

Related: Make Your iPhone Easier to Use With These Hidden Accessibility Features

If you're looking to increase or decrease the font size but in a specific app and not system-wide, you can do so using an option in iOS 15 or later.

To start, open Settings on your iPhone and tap "Control Center."

Select "Customize Controls."

In the "More Controls" section, beside "Text Size," tap the green "+" icon. This will add the "Text Size" control to your Control Center.

If that item is already listed in the "Include" section, then you don't have to follow this step.

Now that the item is added to your Control Center, exit out of the Settings app and launch the app in which you want to change the font size.

While that app is open, access Control Center and tap the "Text Size" option. It's an icon with two "A" in it.

At the bottom-left corner, tap the app-only option. Then, use the size adjuster to increase or decrease the font size.

In your app, you'll find that your font size has changed. And you're all set.

While you're at it, consider installing custom fonts and changing the website text size in browsers like Safari and Chrome on your iPhone.
