The customization of Android devices is one of the strongest points compared to iOS devices. An example of customization available from Android devices that is not available on iPhone or iPad is the possibility of changing the font of your interface. It is true that Apple devices allow you to change the font size, however, you cannot change the font. On the contrary, on Android devices like Samsung it does allow the change of letters and even download new types of letters different from those available by default.

Changing letters on your Samsung phone or tablet can go beyond a simple aesthetic change, as certain letter fonts may be easier to read than other fonts. In addition to changing the letter, you can also customize the size of this letter to further improve text reading and options..

However, other apps such as Spotify or the text of the websites visited from your browser will NOT change to the new selected font.

That said, below we want to show you step by step how to change the font type of letters on your Android Samsung device . If you don't like the default font types, we also show you how to download new ones so you can use them:
