Making the Text Bigger in MyWatchtower

Make the text in MyWatchtower bigger or smaller with the text size setting of your phone, tablet or browser.

MyWatchtower uses the text size that you set on your device. MyWatchtower has no text size setting of its own. When you change the size on your device, the text on each screen of the app changes to match: lists, forms, menus, buttons and Mission Control.

The Visitors tab of a property on a phone, at the default text size

The same Visitors tab at a larger text size. The names, the buttons and the tabs are bigger.

On an iPhone or iPad

1. Open Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size.

2. Move the slider.

3. Go back to MyWatchtower. The text changes while the app is open. You do not have to start the app again.

For larger sizes, open Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text. Turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes, then move the slider.

MyWatchtower uses each size from the smallest size up to Accessibility Large, the second accessibility size. At this size, the text is about twice the default size. At the three largest accessibility sizes, MyWatchtower keeps the text at twice the default size, because a phone screen is too narrow for bigger text.

On an Android phone or tablet

1. Open Settings > Display > Font size. The name of the setting can be different on your device.

2. Select a size.

3. Go back to MyWatchtower.

When you change the font size, Android loads the MyWatchtower screen again with the new size. If you have a form open, save it before you change the size. MyWatchtower uses each size that Android offers.

In a web browser

Change the font size in the settings of your browser. MyWatchtower uses that size.

You can also zoom the page. Press Ctrl and + (Cmd and + on a Mac) to zoom in, and Ctrl and - (Cmd and -) to zoom out.

The kiosk at a gate

The entry kiosk at an unstaffed gate does not use this setting. Its text sizes are set for the tablet at the gate.
