Changing font size in notes

Apple does to allow us to alter the font size in Notes. Of course Apple will not provide something useful like the ability to change font size in notes. That’s too simple, too practical.


No, if you want to alter the font size in notes you have to change the font size for everything on your iPhone because the only way to change the font size in notes is to go to accessibility settings and change the font size across every single app on your iPhone.


So please, don’t chime in with helpful instructions to go to accessibility settings and change the font size, thanks. That’s not helpful. What would be helpful would be for Apple to offer a way to change the font size in the Notes app.


Since that’s the obvious simple answer I know for sure that Apple won’t do that.

It's frustrating that Apple doesn't allow users to change the font size specifically in the Notes app. Currently, the only way to adjust the font size in Notes is to change it across all apps in the accessibility settings, which isn't convenient. It seems like a simple and practical feature to implement, but unfortunately, Apple hasn't provided it yet.

Actually you can essentially change the text size in iPhone notes. When in your note with keyboard up, you’ll see a ➕ on the right at the top of the keyboard. Tap it and it will bring up a task bar where you will see several option including Aa. Tap that and you will see options for different options for text size. You can mix them within the note however you like!

I agree that it is ridiculous that the font size, style, etc. cannot be changed in Notes

to be smaller or precisely customizable like in Word or Pages even.

Good grief, for anyone who has been employed in the computer industry this lack

of capability is really a no brainer situation.

How can the Apple developers, programmers, and engineers not be embarrassed 

by their lack of creativity, ingenuity, resourcefulness and low technical knowledge?
