Discord is pretty horrible when compared to Slack… can’t change the tiny font size for starters


you can literally change the font size to up to 24px and then double it again if that isn't enough using zoom level in discord


There is no way to change the font size in the Discord app on iOS

Even under accessibility you can only change things like contrast


Of course you can change the font and font size.


Show me how I change them in the iOS apps…


Not an Apple user.

A quick Google search says that for iOS 15+:

>To change per-app settings for any application, including Discord, on an iPhone or iPad, go to the Settings app > Accessibility > Per-App Settings. Tap Add App, select Discord from the list, and then customize settings like Display & Text Size to alter the app's appearance or behavior without affecting other applications.


Discord used to ignore those settings but it seems to pay some attention to them now (tried it before and it didn’t work)

Unfortunately it’s still somewhat screwed up with the sidebar font being too big compared to the message text
