Hi ... I have an iphone 11 and suddenly the font on all my text messages became larger. I've tried changing them in settings and they stay the same!

Something to try, assuming iOS 15…


Settings > Control Center > add the Text Size control entry, if it’s not already present in Control Center


Launch Messages


While Messages is active, open Control Center > select the Text Size (AA) button > select the horizontal slider to Messages only > adjust the text size using the vertical slider, and see if that can increase or decrease the size here.

Hi there! Thank you for trying to help me. That's definitely the first thing I did. I've also gone to Accessibility, turned off Zoom, turned Larger Accessibility Sizes off... and nothing is changing the very large font... just in my text messages. When i adjust the font, it changes everywhere else on my phone, BUT the text messages. I've also shut down my phone thinking it needs a reset... and nothing!
