How to Increase Font on HERO 5C (Colors)

HERO 5C (Colors) users are far from always being comfortable when reading text from the screen. The display itself or its size is not the issue here, but the font. Because of the small letters, you literally have to peer when trying to make out the letters. Therefore, it is important to figure out how to increase the font on the HERO 5C (Colors) phone. There are several ways to do this.

Via the settings

The simplest option, which is suitable in most cases. The user does not need to download any additional software, but just follow a couple of simple steps:

1. Open the phone settings.
2. Go to the Display section.

3. Click on the Font and Screen Scale heading.
4. Move the Size slider to the right.

As you move the slider, the text size will increase. When the size is to your liking, you need to click the Apply button to save the changes.

If the Text Size Does Not Increase Through Settings

Usually increasing the font on HERO 5C (Colors) is not a difficult task. However, in some cases the user cannot find the corresponding menu item. The point is that the names of some headers may differ depending on the version of your firmware. Therefore, to go to the desired section, you should use the settings search bar.

In addition, the section to change the font becomes available only when you obtain developer rights. To unlock its access, you need to go to the About Phone section and click on the version of the operating system several times.

If this does not help, there is only one method left. You will need to turn to special applications, which can also increase the text.

Vis Third-Party Apps

The HERO 5C (Colors) phone allows you to change the text size not only in the settings menu, but also through the use of special applications. The Google Play store has dozens of programs for adjusting the font. The user can choose any of them.

Big Font (change font size) is ideal for this. It is available for free download and can change the font in a few steps:

1. Run the application.
2. Read its description.
3. Select a suitable text size.
4. Give the app permission to change system settings.

After that, the smartphone will delight its owner with a larger font that can be easily read even by a person with poor eyesight. And if you still can't fit the text to the desired size, try downloading an alternative application to Big Font made by We Choice Mobile.
