To change the font on an iPhone, it's important to distinguish between changing the system-wide font and changing fonts within apps.
Changing Font Size and Accessibility Settings
- You can change the font size on your iPhone by going to Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size and adjusting the slider.
- For even larger text, go to Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text and enable Larger Accessibility Sizes, then adjust the slider.
This affects many apps that support Dynamic Type but does not change the font style itself.
Changing Font Style in Apps and Installing Custom Fonts
- iPhones do not currently support a system-wide font style change.
- You can change fonts in certain apps like Mail, Pages, and Word.
- From Settings → General → Fonts , you can manage installed fonts and download new ones via font manager apps (e.g., iFont, AnyFont).
- After installing custom fonts, they are available only in supported apps.
- When composing emails in the Mail app, you can select different fonts by tapping the formatting options.
Using Third-Party Keyboards
- Some third-party keyboards available from the App Store allow you to use various stylized fonts in messaging apps by switching keyboards while typing.
In summary, to change the actual font style on your iPhone, you typically need to install custom fonts and use them in supported apps like Mail or Pages. System-wide font style changes are not yet supported by iOS, but font size and boldness can be adjusted globally for better readability.
