Setting up and switching to Night-Mode

Is the brightness of a white background bothering you when using your iPhone at night? Besides adjusting the brightness, there is also something else you can do to reduce the amount of light hitting your eyes. By switching to white on black, the color scheme is inverted. Everything white becomes black, black becomes white, orange becomes teal, and all the colors get mirrored. While not the most effective tool when looking at photographs or browsing Facebook, this is useful when using messages as the colors are not as abrasive on the eye.

In order to do this, you first go into Settings:

sett1

Select General, under Settings. Then select Accessability.

sett2

Scroll to the bottom of the Accessibility screen and select "Triple-click Home". From here, click on "Toggle White on Black". sett4

Now your phone is ready to switch quickly over to the reverse color scheme anytime you press the home button three times quickly. Enjoy!
