Visiting your favorite websites or just any website can be kind of frustrating when the on-screen text is hard to read. Fortunately, the Google Chrome web browser on the iPhone and iPad has a text-specific zoom feature. You can adjust the default text size on any website by using the Zoom Text function.

It’s easy to get confused as to which browser this applies to. This feature is for your Google Chrome browser, not the default Safari web browser.

What’s neat is that Chrome remembers your preference and will show the designated text size going forward (no need to adjust the text every time).

Let’s explore how to change text size on websites in Chrome for iPhone and iPad.
