Enable Readers Mode in Safari browser on iPhone & iPad

The Safari browser offers an option to switch to reader mode for the text to be displayed in a simplified format. You can customize the background color, font, and text size in reader-view mode.

The readers modified automatically disable the ads and unwanted design elements, which can cause a distraction while reading.

In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:

It will enable the readers to view any textual content or blog post within the Safari browser, including news websites.

For better readability, you can customize the display text size, font type, and background color.

Customize Readers View in Safari iPhone or iPad

You can quickly turn off the reader’s view from the same option where you’ve enabled it. It will switch back to normal website mode.

Bottom Line

We can enable the reader view for text-heavy page and customize the background color and fonts and adjust the font size.

The reading mode removes the ads and other design customization, making it clean to read.

Similarly, you can enable the reader view for site in Safari on Mac. The browser offers the option to change the background color, font, and text size in reader mode.
