Changing the Font in Google Inbox Emails: Four Methods Explored
In this article, we'll guide you through the process of changing the font size in Gmail across various platforms.
Changing Font Size in Gmail on Different Devices
Android App
When composing an email, tap the Compose button, then the formatting icon (an "A" with lines). Here you can select font sizes like small, normal, large, or huge for the current email text. Note that this applies only to emails you compose, not the entire app interface.
To change font size for all emails (reading and composing) on Android:
You must adjust the overall font size in your device’s system settings (Display > Font Size), which affects all apps including Gmail but not Gmail's in-app specific font settings.
iPhone and iPad
The Gmail app itself does not offer direct font size adjustment within emails. Instead, you can change the device-wide text size via iOS Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size or Accessibility > Larger Text to increase font size across apps, including Gmail.
Desktop Chrome
You cannot change Gmail’s in-message font size default globally in Gmail settings, but you can zoom the browser page to enlarge all text and elements (Ctrl + + or Command + +). When composing emails, the formatting toolbar includes font size options you can apply per email.
Android Chrome Mobile App
You can adjust text size in the browser settings by going to Chrome Settings > Accessibility > Text Scaling to change the size of all web content, including Gmail viewed through Chrome.
