Text Size is one of my favorite Control Centre controls. It lets you quickly change the Dynamic Type size, of the whole system. But also, you can now specify a different setting per app. Also, check out Dark Mode, Magnifier, Sound Recognition...
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

One of my favourite Dynamic Type tricks is to use Stack Views and flip the axis from horizontal to vertical given a certain content-size-category threshold. So effortless and it works so well in so many scenarios.
Toggles or UISwitches are often found separated from the label that precedes (and describes) them; with an unclear label; missing a value, trait, or hint; or even not being actionable at all.
Sometimes your UI will just not scale for large text sizes. Simple changes, for large sizes, like disposing elements vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the number of columns, and allowing more lines of text, can do the trick most times.
