Pick the text size with Small, Medium, Large or the slider, or choose Fill Screen for the biggest text. The up-and-down arrows button now switches to Flipped and Face to face with each tap.

Tap the mic and speak — your words appear on the board in big letters right away. Tap the red stop button when you’re done. The trash button now clears in one tap. Your own phrases come first, and recommended phrases you don’t need can be deleted (bring them back anytime with “Restore Recommended Phrases” in Settings). Face to face is simpler, too.

Type a message and show it in huge text that fills the screen. Face to face, the other person can write back with a finger, and your go-to phrases are one tap away. Open it from the Lock Screen or Control Centre, or just speak to turn your voice into text. This update tidies up our App Store screenshots.

Face to face is now a two-way conversation. You show big text, and the other person replies by writing with a finger. Their reply appears on your side, facing you, and nothing is saved. On iPhone Duo, the screen splits at the fold so each of you gets your own half.

Showing your note is now quicker. The big "Show" button sits right under your thumb, and text size lives in one "Aa" button. While showing, pick the layout—normal, flipped or face to face—from a list.

Text now fits the screen automatically. Show a saved phrase with one tap from Control Centre or Shortcuts. On iPhone Duo and larger screens, write on the left and show it big on the right.

Make the most of iPhone Duo’s larger display: show messages in big, easy-to-read text for smoother face-to-face communication.

Save up to 20 of your own phrases. Reorder them to keep the ones you use most at the top. New in the FAQ: open display mode with a single button press.

Show your note faster than ever. Use face-to-face display, or open straight from the Lock Screen and Control Centre. You can also boost brightness and start with a blank note.
