Tiny font using mail in iOS 10

Ive tried very one of the suggestions and nothing has worked. I even called apple support and they basically said I'm outta luck. It's just the way it was on some phones. Not happy about it or I never would have done the update!

I had the same problem, but it was fixed when I responded to the prompt to "update carrier settings".

I'm on the phone with Apple Care as we speak, and I'm hearing that it IS a known issue, and Apple Engineers are currently working on a fix, or at least a work-around for this. They escalated the case to Tier 2, who gathered a few emails, and information about the system on my device.

Thanks, that worked!

I have tried every single fix that was suggested but nothing worked. I called up apple support when the update first came out and I first had this problem. They said that they would follow up with me but nothing. I guess that there was nothing to report.

I Am still having this problem

Today I learned a new way to Force Quit an app... this is not the same as double-tapping the Home button and flicking the app up and off the screen. I tried that and it did nothing. This technique, however, solved my tiny font problem:

• Open Mail. Gaze at tiny fonts. Smile.
• Press and hold the Lock button (upper right corner of the iPhone). Wait for "slide to power off" to appear. Don't power off!
• Press and hold the Home button (the belly-button). Keep holding it... after several seconds, the screen should clear to white, and shortly thereafter you'll be at the Home screen.
• Launch Mail.

I hope this works for you -- it worked for me today.

This suggestion does not work. Fonts are still tiny and small.

I would love to delete this OS if I can.

Very disappointed.

This issue is not just about the size of fonts in email.

I increased the font size in settings, but the font size in messages is still small. In the old version if you increase font size in settings the font in messages is larger too.

There is no connection whatsoever between the font size in email nor messages with the setting in OS 10.

Shame!

I Tried it too & didn't work for me either.

AS to messages, they added crap to be "hip" with the under 20s which just doesn't help & may have something to do with tiny font there. Who needs these added bubbles & crap. Definitely not help for work. That's why I use Whatsapp. No stupid bubbles or hearts or other junk. This IOS 10 has messed me up. I have eye problems, & tiny fonts don't help. That's what Accessibity was for in the past. Now, it's worthless, even my iPad air2 fonts are tiny.

my husband is ready to throw his iPhone 6Plus away. Why does Apple think we got the PLUS size. TO READ emails, & texts!

Awesome!! so far this has worked for me.. Thank you.

We had this problem too.

Did Apple Support give you a confirmation that the tiny font will be rectified in the next update?

When can Apple response this issue?

Hello, all. I've been having this same problem, too, but mine is limited to Mail app. (Message and the like are fine.) This is particularly problematic for me as I am nearly legally blind. As you can imagine, I blow up the font size quite a bit on these devices. I can no longer realistically use them to read emails. To make things worse, I'm at attorney. My work life depends on my ability to read and write. This is killing me.

I've been in contact with Apple, and they said they were working on a fix. About a month ago, I was promised a fix in a few days. I learned about a week later that it hadn't been fixed yet. Since then, the person I was dealing with at Apple has stopped answering my emails.

I just went through all five pages here, and tried every suggestion. No luck for me.

I can empathize since I have eye spasms which can make it hard to see much less read. That's why I have my iPad and iPhone 6Plus (emphasize the Plus). And, I am dependent on them for emails as well as reading. Like you, I'm okay with iMessage and Whatsapp. Some emails are okay, but as someone pointed out, those generated by some programs are impossible to read.

Thanks for persistence with Apple. Obviously, they don't care about what you told them or have even seen what we have been writing here, & this is page 5! I've tried all these tricks too, and nothing has helped. Even the AOL app has tiny font so that hasn't helped me either. If I didnt have my iPad, I would consider getting another brand of cell phone! My son who works as computer programmer only buys Blackberry. He won't touch iPhones!

That's interesting about Blackberry. It sounds as if he'll have more trouble keeping to that moving forward, but I certainly wish him well!

Have you (or anyone else) found another email app that supports dynamic text? I have not. I have tried Outlook (which would be my first choice), Sparq (I think that's the name), and a few others. But none of them seem to apply the dynamic-text settings to email text. And that's what I need.
