1. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop.
2. Select View from the contextual menu.
3. Select either Large icons, Medium icons, or Small icons. The default is medium icons.
On my laptop with a native 1600 by 900 pixels display, the large option looks huge, the small size is too small, and the medium size looks just right (as Goldilocks would say). Your mileage might vary depending on your screen's display resolution. Changing the size of the icons on the desktop doesn't affect the size of the icons elsewhere in Windows 10, but there are ways you can change those too.
How to Change the Size of the Taskbar Icons
If you want to change the size of the icons in your taskbar, there's a different setting for that, which will also change the size of text, apps, and other items across Windows 10.
1. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop.
2. Select Display settings from the contextual menu.
3. Move the slider under "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 100%, 125%, 150%, or 175%.
4. Hit Apply at the bottom of the settings window. Windows might ask you to log out and log back in for a more consistent experience.
This will not only make the icons in the taskbar a bit larger, but it will also make text bigger in apps like Microsoft Edge and Calendar, as well as in Windows 10 notification windows.
How to Change the Size of Icons in File Explorer
If you'd like larger or smaller icons or thumbnails in particular folders, you can change those on the fly in File Explorer.
Just head to your folder location and use your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in or out, effectively switching the view between Windows 10's large icons, medium icons, small icons, list, details, tiles, and content views.

The OP is asking about an iPhone not a computer. And certainly not a Windows 10 computer. ??
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn it off.
