I noticed that if we increase the font size in the phone’s settings (Android) all labels and texts become bigger in our Thunkable Apps - and with these different sizes is really difficult to structure an UI.

I am not sure if this apply to iOS Apps as well.

Is there any way we can prevent this from happening?

You can try decreasing the font size in your app.

Nope this wasn’t my question. Even if you set a size of a label, depending on the phone’s settings it is shown at different sizes. See screenshots below.

Can you explain how you’ve set up your label font sizes? It sounds like you’re saying that label text increases in size when the system font size on an Android device is increased. Shouldn’t that be the case? Otherwise, you’d be preventing people from increasing the font size on their phones. I can see why you might want to do that but it would make apps non-accessible to many people to do so.
