Q: All of a sudden the size of my text on my iPhone 5C is extremely large.  How do I reduce the size of the text?

Al of a sudden my iPhone 5C has extremely large text size.  It's so large I cannot swipe, pinch or make it respond to any command.  Any suggestions on what happened, how to fix it and how to prevent it from happening again?

    Hi Marylane,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    Your description of the text being extremely large makes me think you have activitated the Zoom feature of Accessibility. See the following article and use the same command to disable Zoom as to enable it:

    To enable Zoom, use three fingers and double-tap the screen.

    To increase the level of Zoom, use three fingers to double-tap and hold, then move your fingers up or down on the screen to increase or decrease magnification.

     

    Use Accessibility features in iOS - Apple Support

     

    Cheers,

    Jeff D.
