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?

Does not work for me. I tried it just as you wrote it. I actually tried it a number of times. Still - all my business emails written in HTML format sent from Outlook program are tiny font. The size of the font is unaffected by any adjustment in the font size increase in settings. It's particularly horrible considering 99% of the business emails I get are sent from Outlook in HTML format.

I had this issue. I tried rebooting my iPhone 7 (power and volume down key) 2x's but that didn't work. I tried adjusting the font in the settings, that didn't work either. I closed out the mail app and that didn't work. What actually did end up working was:

  1. close out the mail app
  2. go to settings => mail and turn off the email (just the email not the calendar, notes, etc.)
  3. reboot the phone
  4. go back to settings and turn back on the email account(s)


I hope this works for you because this issue was quite annoying.
