Title says it all. Under settings I can increase font sizes only for those iOS apps that use Dynamic Fonts. Safari isn’t one of them.

I am on the Dope - and other sites- enough that the minuscule font size is maddening. Not sure I want to download another browser just to fix this problem, but I will if I have to.

Cannot find anything within Safari settings regarding font sizes.

Thoughts??

I found this:

1.Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.  
2.Tap on General.  
3.Now tap on Accessibility.  
4.Choose the Larger Type option.  
5.Turn the option to On and then drag the slider left or right to adjust the font size again.

I did that - it affects only applications using Dynamic Display of fonts. Made my Settings screen fonts HUGE.

Didn’t alter the Safari fonts. Unless I missed something?

Maybe Apple has decided that the fonts are already the right size for everyone and there’s no need to change them. 🙂
