How to change the font style on your iPhone

By default, most phones have a pretty common user interface, so a lot of users will want to change the way they look. When it comes to iPhones, the customization possibilities are somehow limited. But there are a few things you can still do, in order to add a personal touch

For example, if you want to change the font style on your iPhone, you can simply follow the instructions below and get a unique user interface. Or switch to Android and have way more personalization options. I’m joking. Or not.

How to change the font on iPhone by tweaking the Settings

Out of the box, an iPhone offers little options when it comes to changing the font. Still, you can make it look a bit different. Follow the instructions below and you will be able to change the look of the text on the phone:

• Go to Settings > Display & Brightness. This menu will show a few display options, including the text size. Tap on the latter
• You should see a slide, which can be dragged to either left or right, in order to increase or decrease the size of the font
• After adjusting it according to your preferences, you can return to the Display & Brightness menu, in order to save your changes. They should be visible immediately.
• Unde Text Size, you should see the Bold Text option as well. Toggle it if you want thicker letters.
• Go back to the main Settings menu > Accessibility > Larger Text. Tapping this will open a screen similar to the Text Size menu, where you can enable Larger Accessibility Sizes.
• Using the slider, choose additional size options. This will apply just to apps that enable Dynamic Type and also allow the larger Accessibility sizes, so you won’t see it everywhere.

And this is it. This is how you can change the font style on your iPhone, relying just on a few simple settings. But what if you want something that really stands out?
