If you are having a problem with the text size of one particular app on your iPhone, then iOS also allows you to change the text size of that app specifically. It is kind of buried deep in iOS. Here are the simple steps to follow.

3. Scroll down and tap on + next to Text Size.
Note: If you already have “Text Size” in Control Center, ignore this step and follow the next.
4. Now open the app in which you want to increase the font size. For example, I want to increase the font size in iMessage on my iPhone.
5. Now swipe down from the top right side of the screen to access the Control Centre while keeping the iMessage open.
6. Tap on the Text Size shortcut.
7. Tap on Messages Only (or the app you have opened).
8. Now swipe up on the slider to increase the text size in that particular app.
