Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone or iPad to access the settings menu.
Display & Brightness: Scroll down and select “Display & Brightness.”
Search for a menu item titled “Screen Distance” or “Viewing Distance.” This could be found under “Display & Brightness” settings, but it might also be in a different area devoted to accessibility or display settings.
If you see the “Screen Distance” option, press on it to change the settings. Depending on your preferred viewing distance, you might be given a slider or a menu of options to change how the content is shown.
Exit the settings panel after making your modifications, then test how the content of the screen changes as your viewing distance from the device varies. To improve visibility and comfort, the screen may automatically zoom in or out, change the size of the fonts, and make other adjustments.
