Guys, I'm using an iPhone 11 on iOS 13. But for such a large phone, my contacts app lettering on the right side is squished together with very small lettering, making it rather a pain to use. Picture below (the picture makes the lettering look a lot larger than when its on the phone).

I never am able to tap the correct letter as they're so small - and I have very very skinny fingers!!!

I've selected larger lettering and also used the Zoom option.

That’s how mine looks
Thanks Barbu. I just thought that with everything else that seems to be broken on my phone, mac... and house in general, this also was broken! I find it surprising why Apple chose to have such small lettering on such large screens.
 
I've never been able to just select the correct letter either but I've found it working well when sliding your finger up and down on the letters. Kinda like using the scroll bar to slide the page up and down.
 
I hope Apple fix this for a better user experience. It's a pain especially when you have a lot of contacts saved but forgot exactly the name of that contact to search instead.

😅 Apple can't fix a a piece of paper to the wall these days let alone anything more technical!

hmmm, I prefer this over the letters spaced over the whole screen. It would make it hard to one-handedly slide over the letters, which is convenient now and in my opinion easier than trying to hit the right letter, even if they were spaced out more. I'm not even looking at the letters on the side, just putting my finger there and slide up/down to where I need to be 😉

I believe this was the intention
