   Modify font size

   Open the Settings app and navigate to Display. Tap on Font size and use the slider at the bottom of the screen to increase the text dimensions to your preference. Changes apply globally to the system interface and supported apps.

   Adjust display size

   Within the same Display menu, select Display size and text. Drag the slider to the right to increase the overall scaling of UI elements, icons, and menus. This adjustment works in tandem with font sizing to improve legibility.

   Enable high contrast text

   Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Text and display. Toggle the switch for High contrast text to On. This creates a stronger outline around text, significantly improving clarity against background colors.

   Activate Night Light

   Go to Settings > Display > Night Light. Toggle the switch to On to filter out blue light and apply a warmer tint to the display. You can schedule this to turn on automatically at sunset for consistent eye comfort.

   Note: Lowering color temperature reduces screen harshness during extended reading sessions.

   Configure Reading Mode

   Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Reading mode. Enable the feature to add a persistent side-button accessibility shortcut. When active, this mode strips away clutter from web pages and provides a customizable high-contrast text overlay.

   Note: Reading mode is ideal for long-form articles in web browsers.
