How can I increase it for reading threads, I can get it little more bigness if I go landscape but not much.
 
More info required! I have therefore made the assumption that this is when using a Chrome browser on an unspecified smartphone. Google's AI response is:

"To increase text size in Chrome on a smartphone, you can adjust the zoom level or font size settings within Chrome itself or through the smartphone's accessibility settings. You can also use a browser extension for more fine-grained control.

1. Adjusting Zoom in Chrome:
  • Open Chrome and navigate to the web page you want to read.

  • Tap the three dots (More) menu in the top right corner.

  • Select "Zoom".

  • Use the "+" or "-" buttons to increase or decrease the zoom level.

  • You can also use the slider to adjust the zoom to your preferred level.
2. Adjusting Font Size in Chrome:
  • Open Chrome and navigate to the settings menu (three dots in the top right corner).
  • Select "Settings" > "Accessibility".
  • Find the "Default zoom" option and use the slider to adjust the text size.
3. Adjusting Font Size in Android Accessibility Settings:
  • Go to your Android device's settings.
  • Find "Accessibility" and then "Font size" or "Display size and text".
  • Adjust the slider to increase or decrease the font size.
4. Using Browser Extensions:
  • Consider using a Chrome extension like "zoomWheel" to customize the font size.

  • These extensions can allow for more specific adjustments and can be useful for situations where the built-in zoom settings are not sufficient. "
 
Sorry Tom, I'm on a Samsung S10+ Edge, mostly I just click the open thread link to read posts.

My eyes are just crap on small text.
 
Doesn't work Tom.

Either of these would do.

But the forum stays like this.

Hi Kev,

If using the Edge browser on your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, use the Edge "hamburger" menu (probably bottom right of screen) to access Settings > Accessibility, where you will find a zoom option.
 
Hamburger? Or similar, can you screenshot yours?

Then select "Settings" and within settings, select "Accessibility", then adjust Default zoom. That worked for me (but then, so did just using fingers to zoom in and out). If you encounter any websites on which it doesn't work, perhaps you need to enable "Zoom on all websites".

Hmm, nope did think that might be it but not seeing it.

So far anyway.

Not finding anything useful, other than for on the phone itself nothing to help read threads.
 
I'm just opening the email on.my phone and clicking the link.

In which case, it is probably opening in your default browser, and I'm guessing that that is Chrome, not Edge, given the three vertical dots at the top and apparently no hamburger menu at the bottom. Use the three vertical dots to go to Settings and then Accessibility (scrolling down as far as necessary to find it), then adjust the Default zoom.
 
Edge is the part of the phones model name, not the MS Edge browser.

I assume it will be a version of Chrome as the browser though Tom.

And I already went to accessibility in settings, see post#4.


I think it is a forum setting I need tbh.
