Signal is the encrypted messaging app that’s available for desktop and mobile. For those who regularly send sensitive communications or just want a little extra security, the app is an increasingly popular option for texting. 

As part of your Signal experience, you can customize the font size to better suit its readability. How you change the font size will depend on where you’re using the app. 

Signal has in-app options for adjusting font size on Android phones, but when using your iPhone or the desktop app, you’ll have to change the font size through your device’s settings. 

On the desktop version of Signal, there’s no setting to change the font size, but you can zoom in and out to make the text more readable. On an iPhone, the Signal app will automatically match its font size to the size you have already indicated in your iPhone’s Settings. 

Here’s how to change the font in Signal on desktop, Android, and iPhone.
