Home Screen Font Size

How can I change the size of characters of descriptions for the boxes of app groups on the Home Screen ONLY? Sliding the font size bar on the Display and Brightness setting changes the size for every single function for every single app. That is much too large for almost all of them. Even with my glasses on, they are just too small on the Home Screen. Huge problem!


Thank you!

iPad mini 4, iOS 12

Thanks. Unfortunately, Apple does not extend this flexibility to their own software.


I understand that apps may have adjustable fonts. My question, however, related to the size of fonts on the Home Screen, i.e., when you have a group of travel apps in a separate grouping entitled “Travel”, the size of the font underneath that grouping is both tiny and not separately adjustable. You can rename these groups or create your own. The one thing that you can’t do is make it legible.


iPadOS 15, which I have, merely continues this regrettable omission.

Hector ~ Your "iPad mini 4, iOS 12" can be updated to iPadOS 15:


iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are compatible with these devices


iPadOS 15 offers: "Per-app settings – Customize display and text size settings on an app-by-app basis. Bold or enlarge text, increase contrast, invert colors, add color filters, and more for only the apps you want." [Source: Apple]
