Making text smaller in Chrome - zoom control is greyed out
I understand that to make text smaller or larger in chrome on an iPad you choose ‘zoom text’ in the drop down list but mine is greyed out so I can’t access it.

Hi lauralmarie,
Is Chrome the only browsing app you're seeing this issue with? Based on the information below from the Google help page here, the steps should be as follows. Change text, image and video sizes (zoom)
"Zoom in or out
You can make everything on a web page larger or smaller with 'Zoom in' and 'Zoom out'.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Chrome.
- Tap More.
- Tap Zoom text…
- At the top of the screen, use the zoom options to:
- Make everything larger: Tap Zoom in.
- Make everything smaller: Tap Zoom out."
We'd recommend ensuring your iPad has the latest iPadOS and apply any Chrome app updates. The steps below will assist.
