Can we get a copy of one of these emails?
It has something to do with the photos triggering an auto-resize function in the app.
How did we determine this?
"It has something to do with the photos triggering an auto-resize function in the app – when you remove the photos the text looks fine"
As it arrives:
After "revert auto-sizing" is selected:
So I'm only able to recreate this the opposite way of how it's reported:
The common solution seems to be something like this, but it isn't having much of an effect that I can see:
Response from MC:
So with mobile texting and using our drag and drop templates, there is a way to choose mobile styling preferences that will help in display text as a certain size. Just in case, I went ahead and created a quick video in your account using a replicated campaign to help show you: https://d.pr/v/Q27Nab
To be completely up front, using mobile styling is the best way to control how your text is viewed on a mobile device. That being said, it is possible that certain mobile devices might view that text differently than setup, which I'm afraid we wouldn't have much control with how that mobile device views that information. However, controlling that text via the Mobile Styling tool is a great way to prevent resizing. The best troubleshooting that I would recommend is to test through different mobile devices that you have access to and see which ones are resulting in autom-sizing.

On Android, I'm noticing that if we replace the 600px wide images with 400px wide images, the text before "Revert Auto Sizing" is larger.
My guess is that Gmail is sizing the container width based on the image contained within it, then laying out text proportional to the image's intrinsic size, and then shrinking the whole document to fit within the viewport, which decreases the apparent font size.
Increasing the font size in the mobile styles has little to no effect on Gmail, unfortunately.
The email text size renders too small in Gmail’s mobile apps (both iOS and Android). It has something to do with the photos triggering an auto-resize function in the app. (team to investigate)
