What are accessibility settings on a phone or computer?
Accessibility settings are built-in options on every phone, tablet, and computer that make the device easier to use. They can make text bigger, read the screen aloud, add captions, reduce the need for precise tapping, and much more. Every modern device has them — you just need to turn them on.
How do I make text bigger on my phone?
On iPhone, go to Settings, then Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, then Larger Text. On Android, go to Settings, then Accessibility, then Font Size. Both let you slide to your preferred size. Our guides walk you through every step for each device.
Can I control my phone by voice if I have trouble with my hands?
Yes! iPhone has Voice Control, Android has Voice Access, Windows has Voice Typing, and Mac has Voice Control. These features let you navigate, type, and tap without touching the screen. Our arthritis and tremor guides show you exactly how to set them up.
Are accessibility settings free?
Yes, all the accessibility settings in our guides are completely free. They are built into every iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Windows PC, Mac, and Chromebook. You do not need to download or buy anything extra.
