iOS 27 text size per app option missing from Control Center

Hi everyone, this reddit discussion suggests toggling on and off Display Zoom to restore the original functionality : https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1wghnfx/comment/p9v6awd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button.

Another workaround to avoid too many taps would be to use a shortcut (for the Shortcuts app) that opens the Per-App Settings directly. Here is one: Open Per-App Settings.

You could place this shortcut in the Control Center (though I hear there might be issues in iOS 27 with running shortcuts from the Control Center).

To everyone, please let Apple know of the missing functionality: Product Feedback - Apple. The more feedback they get, the sooner the issue might be fixed.

• Open Control Center by dragging down from the battery icon.
• Tap the + in upper left.
• Tap Add Control at the bottom of the screen
• Find the Text Size slider
• Tap on it
• Drag it to where you want it (you may have to move other controls around if there isn’t enough space on the page where you want it)

I haas this annoying issue on my IPhone 17 Pro Max with iOS 27 and on my new IPhone 18 Pro Max on IOS 27 and 27.0.1. They didn’t fix it. Per App Text size adjustment works temporarily and than you have to change the display size from zoomed text to standard back to zoomed in. Than text size adjustment will work a bit before it starts to fail again. A restart of the phone does not fix the issue. Apple has to fix this as soon as possible.

This is a user to user forum, Apple isnt here.

Send feedback to Apple -

I haven’t yet installed iOS 27 (so I can’t comment about the missing functionality in Control Center) but in iOS 26 you could also set the text size for an app in Settings > Accessibility > Per-App Settings: Customize visual accessibility settings for specific apps on iPhone - Apple Support.

I have the same problem. I tried a Force restart and the problem was solved but after a few minutes it came back. I tried a second Force restart but after a few taps here and there in settings the option is gone again.

(When you try from the Home Screen and you see the "Family Only" option you know that the function is broken.)

It's a bug for sure, hope that will be fixed soon.

Yes, I just noticed this today. It works fine on my ipad, but on the phone it comes and goes; it’s mostly gone. I created my own thread and got a reply that this is a user to user forum that Apple doesnt reply to, and to send feedback to Apple??? I know that, I was asking for help here to see if others were experiencing this. I had to do a Google search to find this thread. I’m not finding this community very supportive. But I appreciate the Reddit link, I’ll give that a try.

Exactly!! I found a page that might help. (Full disclosure I haven’t used it yet but wanted to share) How to contact Apple for help with accessibility features - Apple Support

will report back if it helps.

The Reddit suggestion to change display zoom to larger text and back did work, for one day. I just checked and it’s gone again.

This is not helpful

you are explaining haw to

add the controller in my Control Centre

I know how to do it

and it’s all done as you can see on the pictures

question is Why it suddenly missing the per app option adjustment at the bottom

where it’s always been

I am experiencing the exact same thing with my phone after updating iOS 27. I no longer see the option when I go to the control center and tap on the text size icon where I can individually change the size of a certain app that I’m inside of now it doesn’t allow me to do that. It’s missing from the bottom. I’ve been trying to figure it out. I tried resetting my phone. I tried restoring the phone and it keeps happening. I’m not sure what’s the issue

Appriciate the advise but for me is important to have it in on the controler from Control Center as I'm using it a lot

Especialy now after accidentaly resetting all apps to the same text size before noticing the problem, I will need it a lot for some time. The work around you suggested is to many clics to go through for each and every app individualy

But thenk you anyway for trying to help

Thank you 6x6

This is great

it really works But

If you want to stay on Display Zoom/Large Text then it goes back to the same buggy way

So I’m still not happy with the resolution

And Apple starting to feel a lot more like Microsoft- instead of debugging the old software, they just adding more bugs, as if hoping to divert the user’s attention to a new problem instead of fixing the old one 😟

Very disappointed

I’ve had more faith in Apple

This is an accessibility issue. It should be a priority to resolve in my opinion. This option helps people like myself with vision issues. I wear glasses but still need the fine tuning. They finally fixed it for some apps in the last iOS release but broke it somehow? This is confusing. Please help us Apple. I need this for day to day issues as most other people with a disability do.

YEAP.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON IOS 27 IS MISSING FROM CC

This also works in iOS 27. The problem is the fast-easy way through the control center.

Please remove your post. It’s not relevant. It’s a bug.

Came here with this problem and the above Reddit link solution worked for me. A reboot was advised, then another reboot after resetting it. Thanks!

..

This seems to have worked, at least temporarily. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks for posting the link!

Unfortunately playing with the display zoom setting only restores the function for about a day or less. It’s gone again.

Seriously, Apple. Please DO NOT turn into the Microsoft platform - fix one thing, break another two.
