I have always been able to enlarge the status icons - battery %, carrier, wifi calling, etc - by just placing my finger on the icon. Then I get a magnified mage of it in the middle of the screen until I let go. After the latest update this no longer works on my iPhone 6se but it does on my iPhone 8.
Is there somewhere in Settings that I've missed, that toggles this function on and off?
Thanks,
Peter
Hmm no, this feature shouldn't have anything to do with TouchID. I have tested different settings on my iPhone, and when Larger Accessibility Sizes is activated, I can tap on the icons in the status bar and have them displayed in large format in a box in the middle of the screen. I can't find any other settings that would trigger the function not working.

It sounds like you had "Larger Text" enabled. This can still be done in iOS 16.3.1. Go to:
Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text → enable Larger Accessibility Sizes.
Set the scroller to the bottom, at the least 5 last "notches" to make it work as you want it. Now you should be able to enlarge the text in e.g. the status bar by placing and holding your finger.
Did you read my first reply? The scroller must be inside the red field, otherwise the function will not work.
Thanks for the replies. I've checked that Larger Text is on and scanned through the Accessibilty settings, but can't see anything else that affects it.
Here's some pictures in case I wasn't too clear about what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again,

I’ve never seen that on any iPhone I’ve ever owned.
Go ti accecability and se What you got there. In settings
Thanks JS, the sliders on the regular Display settings and the Accessabilty settings are both maxed out at the moment and still doesn't work.
I've noticed that when I boot the phone up is says that Touvh ID can't be activated, I wonder if this is the problem?

Changes may occur after an update. I hope you solved the problem.
Not yet, but plugging away.
Thanks

Thanks for your help JS. Sorry not to reply before, life got in the way.
