Increase the Font Size

Here’s how to make the font larger on an iPad:

Pinch-to-Zoom

The iPad has several handy gestures, and one that is used more than others is pinch-to-zoom. Pinch in and out with your thumb and index finger to zoom in and out of the iPad screen. This doesn’t work in every app, but it works on most web pages and images. So even if changing the font size doesn’t make the text large enough, the pinch-to-zoom gesture may help.

The iPad Also Has a Magnifying Glass

The iPad iOS operating system has a variety of accessibility features, including the ability to quickly zoom in on the screen. This works even when pinch-to-zoom doesn’t. There’s also an option to zoom in to a portion of the display using a virtual magnifying glass.

Use Your iPad or iPhone as a Real Magnifying Glass

This is a useful feature to turn on while you are still in the Accessibility settings. The Magnify setting uses the iPad or iPhone camera to magnify something in the real world such as a menu or a receipt.
