Am I the only one whose font size has shrunk to miniscule on 2 different devices? And nothing seems to fix it in my settings or my account settings. The forum is useless to me like this.
Bracing for finger pointing and ridicule.

Let me rephrase that
On my phone I widen the font by enlarging the screen with my fingers. On my PC it looked ok the last time I was on 2 days ago. I increased the size of lettering overall on my PC formatting years ago due to my hyperopia.
On a Windows laptop, use “CTRL +” to enlarge and “CTRL-” to shrink................
Posted this on another thread that helped some people. I assume you are using Chrome as your browser.
Adjust Chrome’s accessibility settings
Open the Chrome browser and tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
Select Settings.
Scroll down and tap Accessibility.
Adjust the Default zoom slider until the text in the preview is large enough for you to read comfortably.
If a specific site is still too small, you can often force it to zoom by turning on Force enable zoom.
Use the pinch-to-zoom gesture
On any web page, use two fingers to pinch out on the screen to zoom in, or pinch in to zoom out.
Adjust the system-wide font size
Swipe down from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings.
Tap Font Size.
Use the slider to increase the font size for your entire device.
I have been getting the running off to the side occasionally. Restarting the phone helped.
I do have an android. Is it happening on iPhones?
Yer killin’ me Smallz.
On PC, most every browser will resize the current font with CTRL+Scroll Wheel.
On a phone, get the Opera browser and it repaginates paragraphs when you zoom in. Best old guy feature ever.
What is this? A post for ants!?
I can read that without changing the font size. 😃
Not mine.
I just zoom in. Easy-peasy.
Only on my phone.
But I don’t want to zoom in and haven’t had to in 2 years. Today I suddenly have this problem and none of the suggestions here have fixed the problem.
I think someone posted that iPhones are not experiencing this.
I’ll try to remember to call the Verizon Tech Coach today and see if they have any ideas. We pay a little extra each month for the service and they have come in handy in emergencies.
My android phone did too. In the Chrome browser, I mashed the 3 vertical dots in the top right and selected “Zoom”. Set it to 250% and all is well now.
Yes, android. I’ve hated this samsung S23 since the day I got it. Like every other phone I’ve had.
“none of the suggestions here have fixed the problem.”
Yesterday I did the power-off reset thing. Didn’t help.
When I did that it looks like 2 or even 3 pages are displayed on top of each other. Completely unusable and readable.
Seems like this is the best solution at this point if you own an Android phone.
Same. The other times this has happened it fixed itself after a few months. I’m not doing the pinch and scroll over thing this time. Tempted to just fling this POS up against the wall.
