   Activate Per-App Settings

   Go to Settings > Accessibility > Per-App Settings. Tap Add App, select your desired application, tap the entry, and choose Larger Text or Bold Text to customize specific app readability without affecting the entire system.

   Note: This is ideal if only your browser or email client requires higher legibility.
