Dynamic Type
Also called: Font scaling, Large text, Text size
The phone setting that lets users make text bigger or smaller across apps.
Definition
Dynamic Type is Apple's name for system-wide text size settings on iOS; Android has a similar font size and display size setting. Apps should respect it, and layouts should still work at the largest sizes without text being cut off or overlapping.
In practice
With the largest text size enabled, the "Continue" button label wraps onto two lines and gets clipped, so it reads "Contin".
