Why can't I read signs in Minecraft PE? - Cheerful young female in eyeglasses with cup of beverage reading textbook in armchair between potted plants in house room

On Minecraft PE before the 9.5 update I could read signs perfectly, now I can't. Well I can, but the sign has to be two blocks up and I have to go really close. So I can't see lower and high signs.

How do I fix this?

Why are my signs blank in Minecraft?

Your text is probably disappearing due to lag from so many signs/entities and approval issues. Your text is not gone forever, just waiting to be approved and that can take a while. Sometimes you can speed the approval/load time up by hitting the signs with "LT" or placing then breaking a block next to it fast.

    When the sign is placed, players can write whatever they'd like on it. Now, in order to make the sign glow, all players need to do is right click the sign with a glow ink sac. The text will appear to be glowing, usually having a white or lighter colored border around the text.
