You were right and your friend was wrong for not knowing how to increase font sizes on mobile. It’s actually an opportunity to teach them how to change page zoom levels in a browser. (I actually have the opposite problem: many sites make font sizes way too large and I often need to decrease zoom level.)

The only exception is that the layout of your website requires multiple columns so increasing either font size or page zoom doesn’t work well. For example gcc.gnu.org is challenging for a mobile browser if one prefers larger font sizes. You are fine if you aren’t doing that.

Browsers remember your zoom settings on a per-site basis. Try using it before claiming it will fuck up the entire experience.

		> The user controls their default font size on their platform. What if they'd already increased it, and now I'm just making it bigger? The person making the site however wanted someone to change their default font size We have to also consider that the person in question is most likely not having a bad experience on every app and website, and that this guy just had a tiny font size on his site Even this famously tiny fonted site is readable on mobile
