Often this can be due to the default text that might be a little too small for some users, but it’s also possible that the text is so large that you are constantly swiping and scrolling to read it all. This becomes especially noticeable if you use someone else’s iPhone and see that you don’t have that same problem. This can be due to a switched text size on the iPhone. There is an Accessibility menu on the device that includes a few options to make the screen easier to read, and one of those options lets you increase the size of the text. If your text is too big, then following the steps in the tutorial below will show you where to find the text size setting and reduce it to something that’s a little more manageable. If you need to type in larger font sizes in your documents, then our largest font in Word tutorial can show you what to do.
