M365 Applications - Accessibility Options for iOS
The Accessibility options that iOS devices provide are controlled at a system level, which are then dispersed to all applications.
To navigate to the Accessibility settings, click on Settings from your homepage, then select General. From that list, click on Accessibility. From there, you'll see a list of available accessibility options. This document briefly outlines the different options.
