Resize font in notes app on iOS?

Just updated to iOS 17.5 and I have what I think is a new issue: I'm looking at a note and the font is uncomfortably small.


Is there any way to change this when viewing notes already created and synced between phone and computer, without going back to the computer?


I don't remember such a problem before the update: my default notes font seemed to be just fine.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

Re: "Resize font in notes app on iOS?"


Wondering if Apple Support's online article (link below) can help:

Use display & text size preferences - Apple Support

Eg says:

In settings: "Tap Accessibility > Display & Text Size.

You can find these accommodations on the Display & Text Size screen:

  • Bold Text: Makes text bold.
  • Larger Text: Tap this, then turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes. Use the slider to choose your preferred reading size."


All the best :-)

You might want to try the other option:

Create and format notes on iPhone - Apple Support

says:

Format text

  1. In a note, select the text you want to format.
  2. Tap , then choose a style such as Heading, Monostyled, bold or italic font, block quote, bulleted or numbered list, and more.

Tip: To choose a default style for the first line in all new notes, go to Settings  > Notes > New Notes Start With.
