[UI8 Update Fixed it!] Notification font size tiny after Android 15 update

[Update: UI8 Android 16 Update Fixed it!]

I have a Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra and after the Android 15 update my notifications are tiny. I have changed my font size, changed my font, changed my screen zoom size, disabled screen protections in developer options, restarted my phone, and everything else I could think of. My font size for notifications were not this small prior to the Android 15 update. It doesn't matter what I do the font size remains tiny. Please help! 😩

Why are all the notifications so small

I am finally getting ok with the update. Figured out my AOD problems. My only problem now is...why are all notifications so small? Haven't found a way to enlarge them and i do not like the card setting.

I think downloading goodlock from the Samsung store and then inside goodlock install lockstar. Will allow you to make adjustments to your AOD notifications. I apologize if I'm wrong and get your hopes up. I highly recommend exploring goodlock no matter what if you havent

Go to settings, display, and change the size. Also, change the font to Samsung One. Then bold. They changed the default.

Thanks I'll try that

I did all of that. My font was already Samsung One. I put the font size on the largest size and the notifications remain small. Bolding it only makes it bolder, not larger. 😞

You can try in DO, go to Minimum Width dp and c
change it to 340 from 360 see if that helps you.

Can anyone get more that 3 notifications without having to swipe down to see if you have more? This is annoying!!

Not that i know of. Hasn't it always been that way?

Hello. Thanks for the suggestion. It was already set at 360. Also screen zoom makes everything huge and I just want the notification font to be larger, not everything else on the phone. I guess there's no way to fix this. 😞

Mine too. I'm on a Fold 5, which I purchased because of vision issues and the ability to have Big fonts on a big screen. I can no longer read the notifications now, same goes for the battery percentage. This is so sad. Please fix this Samsung!

This works for fonts in apps, but not for the notification texts, unfortunately.

So sorry! I just chatted with them and they said: "We will not have an option to change the font size, however your Galaxy phone’s Notification panel and Quick settings panel have received a new look with alternate navigation gestures for the Notification and Quick settings panels." I then asked if the font is bigger if the panels are combined together? And they said: "It will be the same, however as it was the old style, you might like the way they look for you." 😐

Same here. It's really annoying. I've made all the adjustments and nothing worked. Even the font in this app is tiny.

My wife's Samsung A35 just upgraded to the Version 15 software & she started complaining right away about the "itty-bitty' font size in Notifications. (Note: My Samsung A32 is using Version 13.) So she handed me the phone & said 'fix it'! No easy task as those on this community have attested. But I found something that made her happy w/o enlarging the font size significantly everywhere (I think). So here goes:

1) Open up Settings on the phone.

2) Click on Accessibility

3) Click on Vision Enhancements

4) Click on the Large Display Icon on this page.

When I went back & pulled up her Notifications, the text was slightly larger & w/o the outline that existed before. It was easy to read; didn't look 'blurry'. And when I looked at a few other APPS (i.e., Messages) the text looked like it hadn't been impacted much at all. She liked it & that was all I cared about!

You mention UI8 Android 16 fixed this for you, but unfortunately I am experiencing exactly the same issue, and I'm on UI8 Android 16. For those who seem to misunderstand the problem, it is exclusively the Notifications and Quick Settings panels which have a tiny font. Everything else is fine, so adjusting Font Size or Screen Zoom won't help. It's a very bizarre problem, and I have no idea what to try. 😞
