Why does my mother’s iPhone 16 Pro Max have more type size options than mine?

I noticed that my mother and I have the exact same iPhone model, the 16 Pro Max, yet she has way more options for adjusting the type size than I do. Does anyone know why this might be?

Here’s an idea: could you post an uncropped screenshot of the settings page?

Looks like the screenshot might be missing a key part of the answer.

Sorry about that! Here’s a new one with the full view.

It looks like your settings page is missing a toggle that should be at the top.

This is exactly it. I’m here for it!

Try going to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and tap on Larger Text for more options. Adjust the slider to your preference.

That’s what I was missing! Thank you so much!

Maybe it’s because you have dark mode on?

Are both of you on the exact same iOS version?

If you hadn’t cropped out some of the settings, we could help more.

An uncropped screen always provides more context. No worries!

You’re absolutely right! Thanks for the tip.

No problem at all. Glad to help.

It could be related to zoom level settings.

Make sure to turn on the toggle above the slider.

It may vary based on region and keyboard language settings.
