Learning to use your iPhone with confidence can make your everyday life easier. It’s not just a phone—it’s a tool that can help you stay in touch with family, keep track of appointments, and even remind you to take your medications. According to Pew, over 65% of us own an iPhone and spend more than 7 hours per day enjoying the tech.
This is why its important to explore iPhone features that can make life easier and allow you to customize it to fit your needs.
Let’s say you want to increase the font size on your iPhone so you can read messages, emails, or even Facebook more comfortably. Here’s how you can do it, step by step:
Open the Settings app - Look for the little gray icon with gears on your home screen—it’s called Settings. Tap on it to open.
Find Display & Brightness - Once you’re in Settings, scroll down a bit until you see Display & Brightness and tap on that.
Tap on Text Size You’ll see an option called Text Size. Tap it, and a slider will appear.
Slide to Adjust the Font Move the slider to the right to make the text bigger. You can stop when the text size feels comfortable for you.
Want it Even Bigger? If you need the text to be larger than what the slider allows, you can go back to Settings, then tap on Accessibility > Display & Text Size >
Larger Text. There, you can make the text even bigger by adjusting the slider.
Keep in mind that enlarging the text will make screens inside apps look slightly different and required more scrolling to view additional options or text.
Taking the time to learn these little tricks can make your iPhone work for you and help you stay independent. By learning to use your iPhone confidently, you’re not just mastering a piece of technology—you’re gaining a tool that will help you stay active, connected, and in control.
