When the text size is larger in my Iphone. I often lose functionality with Applications. For example it is hard to find and press GO in Maps. I am wondering what the work around is?

Screen cuts margins in some apps Hi! In apps like Instagram (or any in 9:16 format) my screen looks a little bit bigger, cutting off the margins. It’s annoying, because sometimes I can’t see full texts. Is there any way to fix it? It's been happening since I got the iPhone 14 Pro.

iPhone 15 and Google apps with text size issue, text size cannot be adjusted regardless of what you do Hi everyone, I hope you're all well. I have come back to iPhone after 12 years of absence and have just setup my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. Everything has gone well except I have noticed that the Google apps that I have installed do not scale when I increase the text/font size slider. Literally all of them so Waze, Google maps, Google Calendar, Google Keep Notes, The Google App itself, Gmail, Google Chrome, etc all stay at the standard text/font size and adjusting the slider does absolutely nothing at all. The other weird thing I noticed is I cannot adjust Safari browser text size, it does not scale with the text size slider. I even tried adjusting manually with the aA option. I am scratching my head at this as I never had this issue ever with Android. I did some reading up on it and a few people have concluded that its got a lot to do with the developer of the apps as opposed to Apple? Is this true? I also read that Safari deliberately does not scale its text size up for website compatibility, is this true also? If not, I would dearly love to know how to fix this issue as otherwise, the phone is great and enjoying thus far. Thanks in advance and look forward to any replies. Arty

There is only so much space on your iPhone Screen, if using larger text is making it more difficult to use applications, the logical answer is to use a zoom setting which doesn't reduce the ability to operate within an app. Maybe this link will help you --> Zoom in on the iPhone screen - Apple Support
