How to change the font style on your iPhone

Apple has not yet created a way for iPhone owners to change their font style via the operating system, meaning there is no option within your Settings app to switch up your fonts. However, there is a way to change your font style via a popular app in the iOS App Store. The app is called Fonts, and it has over 200,000 reviews and a stellar 4.5-star rating. Download the Fonts app from your App Store if you wish to change your font.

What do I do once Fonts is enabled?

Now that the Fonts app is enabled on your iPhone, you can open it and begin using it. The app will offer you a paid subscription option if you want full access to all its features. However, I’ll show you what it can provide for free. When you open the Fonts app, tap the faded X symbol on the top left of your screen to opt out of the paid subscription option.

The app will also ask whether you want Fonts to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites. You can select Ask App Not to Track if you’d prefer not to do that. Once you’re past that screen, you can explore all the different keyboards that Fonts offers you, create a custom keyboard, or see what a specific keyboard font looks like in the bar at the top of your screen.
