Change the display font on iOS 13
If you are the type to customize everything, you have surely been disappointed by the constraints imposed by the iPhone. It is for example impossible to change the font. It is true that personalization remains an area in which the apple company is lagging behind its competitors.
Android offers many more possibilities. Size, color, choice of font, Google OS adapts to the tastes of users. It's simple, you can do whatever you want..
On the iPhone, the possibilities for personalization remain very limited. It's no secret that Apple has long been reluctant to give users full power. The home screen, icons and the font have hardly changed since the presentation of the iPhone.
But things seem to be changing. With iOS 13, Apple has finally decided to offer a tool to download and install new fonts. It's a detail but it shows the changes taking place in society..

It is not much but how we say it is better than nothing. And then things may change over the months. The font change function may be extended to other applications.
