Notification banners to small.

I updated my phone to iOS 15 last night and I am not seeing the notifications. I can barely see them appear on the top of the screen and they are so small. I tried everything to make them look how they used too.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Go to Settings-Control Center then scroll down under More Controls and tap the green plus sign in front of Text Size.


Then go to the Home Screen page.  On most iPhones you can swipe down starting from the upper right hand corner.


Select the Text Size icon (“aA”). 

At the bottom, select Home Screen Only and swipe the Text size up. 


This will make your notification banners larger. However, will also make everything else on your Home Screen larger. I don’t care for that myself but I’m not sure how else to address the issue.

Hello Bringiton0978,


Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that behavior with the notifications on your iPhone.


Does this occur with notifications from all apps, or only certain ones?


Do you get your notifications on any other devices, such as an Apple Watch or iPad? If so, are notifications on your other devices still displaying as expected?


Also, have you had the chance to restart your iPhone since you noticed this behavior? Restart your iPhone


Hopefully those details will help to further isolate and address this behavior.


Take care.

Hi,


I’m having this same issue with my banners being super small. It’s happening to all my apps and they are about half the size of what they used to be and don’t provide a good preview of the message. I have tried restarting my phone and they are still super small. Instead of telling me who sent the message it made the app badge bigger.


Would there be any way to make them bigger or restore back to iOS 14?
