Upgrading Phone Question


Recommended Posts

From what I am seeing that app may no longer be available. from Samsung or the Play Store.
Upgraded Mobile Experience!

The instructions there are what I did and so I am using it. Basically, it's just the website added as an icon to the phone...and not a mobile version, so the type is much smaller making it more difficult to use. But I'm coping. 😉

I am watching the discussion since I might pick up a second phone, probably for Google Fi, for an Asia trip this fall.

I really like my Pixel phone. With the exception of the app we've been discussing -- which appears to be no longer available on any platform -- I haven't had any problems with the phone, unlike my previous Samsung.

Since it is a Google phone I am going to presume the browser is Chrome? If so, then in Chrome go to settings, then Accessibility. There you can control the text size.

But doesn't that make *everything* bigger?

I get around it by turning my phone sideways. That makes it larger -- not as large as seeing it the app, but larger than holding it the normal way.

Well, it is supposed to only scale text. I keep mine at 125% and have not noticed anything particularly off on sites I visit. You might try it and see how it works out for you.

It makes the apps and the apps' titles larger. But, upon opening the app, everything inside is the same size.
