How do we test Dynamic Type (text size) in an iOS Simulator?


iOS 7 and later allows a user to specify text size in Settings/Display & Brightness/Text Size. I don't see, or have yet to discover, how to change this in the iOS 7/8 Sim to test my app. Is it possible? If so, how/where is it done?

Thank you


Solution

  • In the simulator, go into settings (Choose "Home" on the hardware menu). Then General->Accessibility->Larger text. You also should slide the switch at the top to "Larger Accessibility Sizes". You'll then get a slider to adjust the text size. Hope this helps.
