Bigger as in font size or byte size?
Apr 17, 2015 11:56PM PDT

Font size may or may not be adjustable. Some apps do or don't.

As to message byte count, the letter A for example could be in Unicode. So that in Ascii would be a byte but in Unicode more than one byte. Hence larger.

As you didn't clarify your question I can't expand on my answer. I had to guess what you meant by larger.

does it happen ONLY on facebook?
Apr 18, 2015 4:54AM PDT

If so, then it's site settings. If other places, then maybe the same method to change font size in other programs will work. Try olding CTRL key and pushing the plus or minus key.

Time to find a person near you.

The font size looks changeable in the app. BUT as usual I can not find a video or app documentation to tell you how to use this app.

It seems this is how the new way of apps are. Issue an app and for cost cutting don't document it's use.

What I didn't find was a video or documentation. Only that it looks like the font size can be changed.

Here's something you could try.
Apr 19, 2015 9:30AM PDT

On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger text and turn ON the "Larger Accessibility Sizes" option.

Use the slider to increase the size of the text.

This is a Global Setting, not just for the Facebook App.

I do note that many people are complaining about the font size on that app

Answer
depends how u send it
Apr 28, 2015 10:49AM PDT

Ive noticed that when you send the smiley face on its own, then it will be huge. If you send it within your text, it will fit in with the words. Hope this helps.
