Reading is an essential part of day-to-day life. Researching about projects, going through news, reading articles, etc is what one does even more than posting on social media. Reading on your iPhone can be a lot more fun with some hidden features on your phone and shall be discussed below. So, let us get started!

To enable the Reader view in Safari, tap on the icon for ‘Reader View Available’ that flashes on the top of the screen as soon as you search content on Safari. In case you miss out on the notification, tap on the ‘AA’ button in the address bar to switch to the Reader view. Hit the small ‘A’ to decrease the size of the text, on the other hand, click on the large ‘A’ to increase the size. You can also change the Font color, and it will change for all other content you access via Safari until you disable the feature. Click ‘Hide Reader View’ after tapping on the ‘AA’ icon to get back to regular settings.
Automatic Reader Mode for specific websites
