Font size

Hi!  I’m using square on my phone as I’m a freelance instructor but I’m struggling to see the calendar when booking appointments (poor eyesight but I can’t wear glasses when I teach). 

is there a way to increase the size of the font on the calendar?

thanks

Hey @Jos7, welcome to the Seller Community! Congrats on your first post here! 🥳

 

There isn't a way to increase the font directly from within the app at this time. However, smartphones and smart devices usually allow you to alter the text displayed on the screen. Have you tried to increase the font size on your device? 

 

If you are using an iOS device, you can increase the font size by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility, then select Display & Text Size.
  2. Tap Larger Text for larger font options.
  3. Drag the slider to select the font size you want.

To increase the font size on an Android device:

 

  1. Open your device's Settings app.
  2. Select Accessibility > Text and display.
  3. Select Font size.
  4. Use the slider to choose your font size.

Let me know if that makes any difference. I'd be happy to help you in any way I can.

Hi @Jos7, just stepping in for Skyler here. 

 

Sorry to hear this didn't work for you. Are you using Square Appointments on a browser on your phone or are you using the Appointments app?

 

If it's the app are you using Android or Apple? 

 

I did some testing on the app on an Apple device and while increasing the font on the device didn't increase the font within the Appointments app (but it did on the Point of Sale app), I noticed that by pinching on the screen, you can zoom in and out on the calendar, which may help you. 

 

I'll add some photos for reference:

Let me know if this method might work for you? Thanks!
