Galaxy device Visibility enhancement features
Is it hard to see your screen? Whether you cannot read text messages, want to edit your font style, or need magnification, you can use your device's Visibility enhancements. These features will make it less difficult to see when you’re reading an article, typing an email, or just using your Galaxy phone or tablet in general. You can also add Visibility enhancements to the Quick settings panel, or use an on-screen Accessibility button.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and device model.
Use Vision enhancement features
Enhancements are available for users with vision loss, or for anyone who wants to customize the content on their device. You can also choose your own fonts and colors, so your screen is easier to read.
From Settings, swipe to and tap Accessibility, and then tap Vision enhancements. Swipe up to see all the convenient options for improving your screen:
Display mode: Select from Default, High contrast, or Large display.
High contrast theme: Download and use themes that feature light colors on dark backgrounds. They are much easier on the eyes.
Note: This option is not available on tablets.
High contrast fonts: Tap to add an outline to all fonts so that they stand out against the screen.
High contrast keyboard: Change the keyboard style by selecting different color palettes.
Highlight buttons: This will add a highlighted color to buttons so they are easier to see and select.
Color inversion: Allows you to invert the colors of your menus and fonts to improve visibility.
Color correction: If you have trouble seeing some colors, this may make things clearer.
Color filter: Choose from a list of colors to add a filter to your screen, and then adjust the opacity with the slider.

Reduce transparency and blur: Reduce visual effects so menus and dialogs are easier to see.
Extra dim: Apply an extra dim setting to the screen.

Cursor thickness: Makes the text editing cursor wider, and easier to see.
Pointer size and color: If you have a mouse connected, you can adjust the size and color to be more visible.

Screen zoom: Permanently enlarge your screen with the slider. Your selection will save and reflect on your screen.
Speak keyboard input aloud: You can have Samsung Keyboard speak letters and words as you type.
Audio description: Automatically play a descriptive audio track soundtrack on videos if it is available.
Bixby vision for accessibility: Adds features to the Bixby Vision camera mode that can speak descriptions of what the camera sees.

You can also add Visibility enhancements features to the Quick settings panel for easy access. Using two fingers, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap Edit buttons. Swipe to and choose from High contrast fonts, Color inversion, Color filter, or Color adjustment (known as Color correction on the S23 series). To add a feature to the panel, drag and drop its icon into the panel at the bottom. Then, tap Done.
Use the Accessibility button
Placing an Accessibility button on your screen will give you quick access to your most-used accessibility features. You can also choose where the Accessibility button is located on your screen.
From Settings, swipe to and tap Accessibility, then tap Advanced settings, and then tap Accessibility button.
Tap Select actions and choose your desired accessibility features. You may need to tap Allow when prompted for certain features. Then, tap Back.
Under Location, select Navigation bar or Floating over other apps.
If you select Navigation bar, one button (the person icon) will appear in the right corner of the bar.
If you select Floating over other apps, individual buttons will appear on the right side of your screen. You can then choose additional settings, such as the buttons’ size.
Now, you can use the accessibility settings from any screen!
