We use phones less and less to call, and more to talk to people through instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. However, this is not always an advantage for everyone, since some users, especially older ones , may find some disadvantages when reading the letter of the messages.
On the other hand, and especially in view of the current holiday dates, in which unfortunately many of us will still stay away from our loved ones, we also want to take the opportunity to talk about the additional configuration offered by the most popular messaging application , with a quick and simple explanation on how to change the letter of WhatsApp , and increase the size of the messages .
That said, the first thing to do is open the WhatsApp application from our phone. Once on the main screen, we will access the general menu by pressing the icon with the three dots located in the upper right corner, and we will select the “Settings” option from the drop-down menu.
From here, we will select the configuration option of “Chats” , in whose second section “Chat settings” , we will find an option called “Font size” .
By clicking on the latter, a small pop-up window will open in which we can choose the size of the letter (or font) that we want to use, under the three options “Small”, Medium “and” Large ” .
Unfortunately, WhatsApp Android does not offer any type of preview to be able to compare the size of each setting, so we will have to confirm the change and go to one of our chats to be able to see the results of each change, just like we show you in the image above.
How to make the WhatsApp font bigger on iOS
Although very similar, the process to change the font size on iPhones and iPads will have some small changes in the nomenclatures, so we prefer to do the full review.
Again from the main screen, we will access the general menu by pressing the gear icon (or “Settings”) located in the lower right corner. From here, we will select the option “ Chat configuration”, and finally we will select “Text size” .
