No, giving GitHub's iOS app different per-app font accessibility settings makes other text in the app just a tad too small. |

It just occurred to me to check in the iOS app's diff view settings for any options for changing the font size of text there, and I found the 'Override System Font Size' setting. Adjusting it resolves this issue for the diff view. Notification view entry titles could still use an option to go back to not using heading style, though, as they're still too big. |

Oh, and the font size used for commit description text is still too big now. |

Agreed, the font size is too big in various places. Why can't the app let us set all of the font sizes? |

Body
The release notes for v1.102.0 of the GitHub iOS app include the following:
This is good/nice in theory. I've sometimes wanted to make code listings a bit bigger or zoom in on them without having to resort to the system-wide iOS accessibility zoom feature. Now code's too big, though. It appears to be using the Dynamic Type font size meant for headings, except without bolding. or a size just below that? The previous size only a little too small, by like maybe a point or two, and then only sometimes. (It depends on whether there's a sequence of characters whose boundaries or shapes are harder to tell apart in view.)
v1.102.0 also changed the sizes for fonts used in the 'Notifications' tab. Now:
I was fine with how fonts in the Notifications' tab were sized before v1.102.0.
Could users maybe have the ability to designate Dynamic Type font sizes and styles used for various different kinds of in-app text independently in in-app settings? The pre- and post-v1.102.0 sets of behavior could then just be batch presets for these settings. (For some additional context, I use iOS's system text font size accessibility settings, but only just barely, to bump body text up in font size from, say, 10 or 12 pts up 12 or 14 pts.
(Perhaps iOS Settings per-app accessibility settings have me covered here, but I haven't fiddled with them just yet. I'll go take a look at those.)
