Hi Alan Fuller

I understand this is frustrating when the text suddenly appears larger than expected.

Have you already tried the Q&A Assist suggestions? In addition, please try the following:

Note: I don’t have a Samsung Galaxy A35 myself. The steps were provided based on research. If you can’t find the setting, please look for similar options, as the name may vary.

1, Check Accessibility font scaling

  • Open “Settings”
  • Go to “Accessibility” > “Visibility enhancements”
  • Tap “Font size and style”
  • Reduce “Font size” if it’s enlarged there

2, Test zoom inside an email

Some emails (especially HTML emails) allow pinch‑zoom:

  • Open an email in Outlook
  • Try pinching the screen to zoom out

If this works, the issue may be content-specific rather than a global setting.

3, Refresh the Outlook app

Sometimes display scaling sticks after an update:

  • Go to “Settings” > “Apps” > “Outlook”
  • Tap “Force stop”
  • Reopen Outlook

Please feel free to let me know how it goes and thank you for your understanding.

    On Outlook for Android, the app follows the phone’s system text size. To reduce the email text size on a Samsung Galaxy A35, lower the device font size:

    1. Open Settings on the phone.
    2. Go to Display and wallpaper (or Display, depending on the exact menu name).
    3. Tap Font.
    4. Move the Font size slider to a smaller size.
    5. Exit Settings and reopen Outlook; the email text will use the new size.
