Tiny font using mail in iOS 10

After updating to iOS10, the font in the body of emails is really small, too small to read. I have to zoom in, but then I have to scroll left and right to read each line. Anyone else have this problem?

Hey Mr. Luigi, everything is going very well, thank you.


I'm not sure why the links were being removed. I know that I have posted links to certain websites that mentioned certain unmentionable things (like jailbreak) and those links were removed even though what I was suggesting was something that had absolutely nothing to do with a jailbreak. Sometimes, I think it depends on who the moderator is and what they think the poster is trying to say. IMO, it can be a subjective decision at times.


My beloved Steelers have given me fits the past three weeks. I hope that it is all behind them now. Thanks for the good wishes and all the best to you as well! 🙂

Hi dclearyea, No luck with the native email client yet. So I'm still using the App called Spark by Readdle. It's free and very highly rated. I used Outlook for a while. But the font is larger with Spark and I have actually come to appreciate how Spark organizes my emails. I am using 5 mail accounts with Spark. 3 different Gmail accounts, Outlook and iCloud. All work fine. The link for Spark was provided by Demo several posts up. However, it is easy to find on the App Store.

Try quitting Mail.


Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the Mail app until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

Yes, this happened to me too. I discovered another setting where you can make your text larger. After doing the usual (display and brightness and bolding and enlarging your text size), try in addition going to settings, General, Accessibility, larger text. Turn on larger text. Also, make sure that View is zoomed. It should help. It doesn't completely solve the problem, but I can now read my text. I still have to scroll left to right on some emails.

Well, I went and "reset all setting" and I am sad to say that it did absolutely nothing to improve the problem, I just had to te-enter all my passwords, pair to all my Bluetooth devices, etc. Did it really work for you??. I am using IPhone 6, 64gb, iOS 10.1.1 and the native IOS mail app.

So, no solution still, at least for me :(
