MIUI set the text size optimized for "average" vision, but it is not always convenient.

Never changed | Only after buying | Regularly adjusting to the conditions |I don't know how to do it-->
Method 1: Standard font size change in MIUI settings
The easiest and safest method is to use the built-in MIUI settings, which do not require super-user rights and runs on any version of the firmware. Here's how to do this:
- Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
- Go to the Screen section.
- Select Text Size (in some versions of MIUI, it may be called Font and Scale).

- Click Ready or Apply to save the changes.
โ ๏ธ Note: In some versions MIUI 12/13 If the text in some apps (such as Instagram or bank programs) is not displayed correctly, try restarting them or clearing the cache.
Check the version. MIUI (Settings โ The phone. โ Version. MIUI)|Close all applications before changing|Take a screenshot of the current screen settings|Prepare for a possible reboot-->
This method is suitable for most users, but it has limitations:
- ๐ Not all apps support scaling โ some (like games or instant messengers) may ignore system settings.
- ๐ Maximum font size is limited โ even at the mark Very large text can remain small for people with severe myopia.
- ๐จ Interface distortion: in some menus, a large font can "hit" other elements.
Method 2: Use of the "Display for the Visually Impaired" (hidden MIUI function)
MIUI has a hidden mode that not only increases the font, but also all interface elements โ icons, buttons, input fields โ called the Visually Impaired Display, which is designed for users with severe visual problems, and you can activate it like this:

Save the settings and restart the phone.
โ ๏ธ Note: This mode may conflict with some applications, especially those that use native fonts (e.g. TikTok or AliExpress). If you notice a crash after activation, try turning off the mode and use only the font zoom through the standard settings (Method 1).
What if the "display for the visually impaired" mode is not displayed?
Advantages of this method:

Examples for popular applications:
- ๐ Google Chrome: Open your browser and click โฎ (three-point) โ Settings. Select Special Options. โ Text size. Set the value from 80 to 200%.
- ๐ Telegram: Go to Settings โ Appearance. Select font size and set Very Large. Activate Enlarge headers for chat rooms.

๐ก
If the application does not have font settings, try to include a dark theme in it โ white text is perceived better on a black background, and its size subjectively seems larger.
Method 4: Third-party applications for fine-tuning the font

- ๐ค Install custom font (e.g. Roboto Bold for better readability).
- ๐ Changing the line spacing is beneficial for people with dyslexia.
- ๐จ Customize the color and contrast of the text.
- ๐ Apply changes selectively (for certain applications only).
