Your Android device allows you an impressive amount of customization, and I'm not just talking about ringtones and background images.
You can change the size of the font used in menus, web searches, and as you compose an email or a text. This is great if you regularly find your device's text too small to read.

2. Tap "Font Size." Depending on your device, this option may be hidden in a "Vision" menu.
3. You'll be presented with a slider that lets you control the font size. Drag the slider as far to the right as you want — the farther right it goes, the larger your text will grow.
4. Tap "Done" to save your changes.
Changing the font size won't affect how others see the emails or texts you send.

2. Tap "Display Size."
