Status bar not magnifying

When I touch the battery or time on the status bar it does not show up in a gray box in the middle of my screen. How do you fix this? I am on IOS 14.6

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi there Bwhitty6!


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're trying to make the icons in the status bar larger. We can give you some helpful tips on how to accomplish this.


To enable, you'll want to go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, and turn on the Larger Text option. Make sure that you are moving the text size slider to 55% or higher (if it is set at the middle of the slider bar or any lower this will not work), then you can tap on the status bar icons to enlarge them.


We hope this helps.

Cheers!
