This wikiHow teaches you how to decrease the brightness of whites (and other light colors) on your iPhone.
Steps
-
1Open your iPhone's Settings. It's an app on one of your home screens represented by a gray cog. Look in the Utilities folder if you don't see it.
-
2Tap General. It's in the third section.
-
3Tap Accessibility. It's in the third section.
-
4Tap Display Accommodations.
- If you're using iOS 9, tap Increase Contrast instead. It's in the second section.[1]
-
5Slide the “Reduce White Point” switch to the on position.
- If you're using iOS 10, a slider will appear beneath the switch.
- If you're using iOS 9, that's all you need to do. You can't customize the white point beyond this, but whites will now be far less harsh.
-
6Drag the slider to the left. As you drag, whites and lighter grays on the screen will dim, and the percentage on the right will decrease. Stop dragging when you reach a comfortable level.
