I've tried looking on panel settings but the solutions I've found here don't seem to be working. 

Probably operator error.

Due to poor eyesight the new notifications are too difficult to read. Tried the panel settings but no luck.

Anyone explain if it possible and how?

You can turn on the screen magnifier in accessibility settings. Not ideal, but at least it's out of the way until you want to use it. Also are the notificatins small because you did not put the two panels back together? You can also download GoodLock Notistar and you can read your notifications in the text size you are used to and it will also save your notifications in case you accidentally dismissed one.

Many thanks.

 

I've never used anything like Goodlock.

 

I've enabled notistar but can't see any option to change text size. Can see change colour but not really that tech savvy so think I'll just have to hope that Samsung improve things in  the next update.

Have you tried adjusting your screen zoom in the display or accessibility settings? This will enlarge everything on your screen. Alrhough, I did hear that the level of zoom in OneUI7 may not be to le level it is in 6.1. you can also change the font size in the sane settings.

You have to go into the Notistar app itself to read the notifications, and/or put them on the lock screen.  They will then turn up normal reading size.  Notistar does not change the size of the notifications in the notification field.  I believe they return to normal size if you put the notification and quick panel back together the way it used to be - where the notifications stretch the width of the screen.  To do this, pull down the right side of the screen until you see the edit pencil at the top, tap the pencil and then tap the edit panel and select "together".

Hi

 

I've gone back to the Samsung interface as I could find in the panel section the together but.

 

I've increased text size and made things bold with a different font and that's helped other areas of the phone. 

Many thanks for your help it's been really appreciated.
