How To Change Font Size On Galaxy S9

dlipetz · Mar 22, 2018

Using the Samsung Messages app on my Verizon S9+, I am unable to permanently change the font size in the bodily chat screen. Yes, you can pinch to shrink and expand font size just that gets reset to standard size every fourth dimension (unlike on the S7 Edge where it remembered your size preference).

Through Settings, you tin can globally adjust font size but the only Messages screen this affects is the primary Conversation screen which shows all conversations. Once you click on a conversation, normal font size is presented. Frustrating for my old optics...

UPDATE: Ironically, when yous conform Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen above the sliders, it shows you a sample Letters screen and the font size does alter in the sample, but it does NOT alter in the bodily Messages app. Sounds similar a problems to me as they are depicting what I want to exercise, only doesn't work.

I'd similar to use the stock app every bit it has some features that are unique. At that place must be a way to change the font size so the setting is persistent, no?

Seeing the same also. Hard for my aging eyes to see.
And as well finding it doesn't follow the global setting for size. Same as you.

Same upshot. I don't recollect you can change the font size only for the Bulletin app.

I when dorsum to my beloved and trusted Textra SMS app.

It changes when you lot change the font size in display settings font.

It changes when y'all alter the font size in display settings font.

Equally I mentioned in my postal service, this is non true. On my telephone, changing the font size in display setting Only affects font size in the primary Conversations view. Once you click on an actual conversation, the font size returns to the default tiny size.

I updated my original post with this tidbit:

UPDATE: Ironically, when you adapt global Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen in a higher place the sliders, it shows you a sample Messages screen and the font size does modify in the sample, simply information technology does NOT alter in the actual Messages app. Sounds like a bug to me equally they are depicting what I want to practice, just doesn't piece of work.

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge this bug and release a new version of the app. Conspicuously the global Font Size Setting is supposed to do exactly this.

Information technology's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half 2d. Sure, information technology'd be nice if it would stick only, c'mon man.

I had a problem with the Background colors in the Messaging ap - some of the themes I like to use are actually awesome but when I get to the messaging ap, they used yellow fonts on a white background - nearly impossible to read. I either have to use a different messaging ap entirely (Mood is a pretty skillful ane I found that has TONS of customization options) or just guess at what was written - or change themes.

It's dissapointing that I can't alter the balloons or fonts in the messaging ap any more - would be nice if we could - and change font size too - and so for now, I am using the MOOD messaging ap and while I prefer the Samsung Stock one better - Mood isn't bad at all.

Its not simply internal Letters app, Viber and Hangouts has actually small font in input line. Tried increasing font size, tried toying with DPI settings. No idea why its like that and only affecting text input lines, only hope some later update could fix that?

Hi Everyone..I just got the 9 plus and the messaging app is different than it used to be. It is just blue bubbling with white background. It wont permit me change anything similar before and the setting the background wallpaper for messages is no longer there....is that how everyone else's is?

I also switched to Textra for the all of the customization that it offers. It's a gratis download so I gave information technology a try and I've stuck with information technology since. Just my 2¢

It's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half 2d. Certain, it'd exist dainty if information technology would stick just, c'mon man.

No, not "come on man". It should piece of work equally designed, and has worked since GSI-II.

No, not "come on man". Information technology should piece of work as designed, and has worked since GSI-Two.

I call back yous mean, "It should work the manner I want it to piece of work." It IS working as designed. Information technology'south just that you don't similar the new design.

That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if we could choose a persistent font size. I practice.

Simply nosotros're talking about a split up-second pinch out to increase the size.

A separate-2d.

So, yes... C'monday.

I think yous mean, "It should piece of work the manner I desire it to work." It IS working every bit designed. Information technology's simply that you lot don't like the new pattern.
That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if nosotros could cull a persistent font size. I exercise.

Simply we're talking virtually a split-2nd pinch out to increment the size.

A split-second.

Then, aye... C'mon.

Thousands of people having to take a split-2nd to conform for a design issues every single time? No. You're missing the indicate.
