How to change the text size on Twitter
Staring at glowing screens for hours has become the everyday norm of modern life, but it’s not the best habit for our eyesight. Aside from inducing a general feeling of depressed boredom, prolonged Doomscrolling through Twitter can also cause dry eyes and eyestrain(opens in a new tab)which can later lead to headaches and blurred vision.
That’s bad enough, but it can be even worse if you have to squint at your screen. People with low vision or other vision problems may have difficulty using Twitter’s default font size, preferring larger text that’s easier to read. Luckily, Twitter allows users to adjust text size both on desktop and in the app, so you can adjust the display to suit your needs.
