Section 1: The Key Difference - Font Size vs. Display Size

Before we change the setting, it's vital to understand the two options available in your Display menu:

Font Size: This setting only changes the size of the text on your screen. Icons, buttons, and the layout will stay the same.

Display Size (or Screen Zoom): This setting makes everything bigger or smaller—the text, icons, menus, and the spacing between items. It's like zooming in on the entire user interface.

This tutorial focuses on changing the Font Size.

Section 2: Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Font Size

This is a standard feature and is very easy to adjust.

Open your phone's "Settings" app.

Go to the "Display" section. All settings related to your screen are located here.

Find and tap on "Font size." On some phones, this might be inside a sub-menu called "Font size and style."

Adjust the Slider. You will now see a slider, usually with a letter 'A' on each side, and some sample text above it.

Drag the slider to the right to make the font bigger.

Drag the slider to the left to make the font smaller.

See the Live Preview. The sample text on the screen will change size in real-time as you move the slider, allowing you to choose the perfect size before you apply it.

The change is saved automatically. Once you have selected a size you are comfortable with, you can simply go back or exit the settings menu. The new font size will be applied across your entire phone, including your notifications, app drawer, and supported apps.

Pro Tip: For the best experience, first set your desired Font Size. If things still don't feel quite right, go back to the Display menu and make small adjustments to the Display Size until the entire layout is perfect for you.
