Step by step

1. 

   Open Font size and style

   Settings, Display, then scroll to Font size and style.

   Done

2. 

   Drag the size slider

   The slider at the bottom changes the size; the preview at the top shows how main text will look. Ours was on the second step.

   Done

3. 

   Make text bold

   Bold font makes all text heavier, which can help as much as a bigger size. It was off on ours.

   Done

4. 

   Change the font style

   Font style picks the typeface. Ours was Default.

   Done

5. 

   Make everything bigger with Screen zoom

   Back on the Display page, Screen zoom enlarges icons, buttons and text together.

   Done

6. 

   Or try Easy mode

   Easy mode, further down the Display page, switches to a simpler layout with larger items.

   Done

About this guide

Text that is too small, or too big, is set in one place on a Galaxy. The preview at the top shows the new size before you leave the page.

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.

Good to know

Some apps, such as browsers, have their own text size setting that this does not change.

Screen colours look wrong instead? Samsung Galaxy screen turned black and white? How to fix it.

In short: Settings, Display, Font size and style: drag the slider, Bold font if you like. Screen zoom for everything.
