Can You Change Font Size on Twitter App?
You can change the font size on Twitter Mobile App, but only if you do it on your phone’s Settings. iPhone users do have a feature to change the font size.
This means that, according to Twitter, there is no native option for changing the font size on Twitter for Android.
Therefore, we need to make the changes outside Twitter. Twitter continuously works to implement new accessibility features for all users (such as adding alt text to Twitter images), but as of 2023, changing the font size on the Twitter app can only be done from your phone’s main settings unless you use iPhone.
How Does Changing Twitter Font Size Work?
Changing the font or text size on Twitter is easy, but there are some things to have in mind:
- If you use the Twitter desktop (web) version, you can change the Font Size by going to Display options. There, you will find a feature that allows you to modify the text size only on the Twitter website.
- If you want to change the font size on Twitter for Android, then going to the Settings App is the only way to do it.
- Likewise, iOS Twitter users will need to change the font size on the Settings App of their devices. However, there’s an option to change the font size on the app for iOS too.
We constantly create Twitter guides to help newcomers to the platform (such as how to check if Twitter DMs are open), and we’ll help you change the text size too.

Why Can’t I Adjust Twitter App Font Size? & How to Fix It
Adjusting the Twitter font size is easy on the app and the browser versions, but what if you can’t do it? This happens due to the following reasons (fixes included):
1. Outdated Twitter Mobile App: keep the Twitter Mobile App for iOS and Android updated at all times to successfully change font sizes. You can update the App on the Apple App Store (iOS) and the Google Play Store (Android).
2. Restart Twitter And Your Device: after changing the font size on your phone’s Settings App, you must restart Twitter. If this doesn’t work, then restart your device and log into
