This Hidden iPhone Feature Stopped My Phone From Blinding Me at Night
1 min read
Summary
A common grievance among iPhone users is that even when the brightness is turned all the way down, the screen can still be too bright, especially at night.
Reduce White Point is an underemployed feature on the iPhone, targeted at making the screen dimmer, even when the brightness is already at its lowest.
It can be enabled through the Accessibility Shortcut functionality, which allows users to set different features to activate upon pressing the side button three times.
Moreover, the Reduce White Point feature can be automated through the iPhone’s Shortcuts app, pre-setting the white point reduction to activate at certain times of the day.
This is particularly useful for decreasing eye strain during nightly usage.
However, it is worth noting that the feature also decreases the overall screen brightness, making usage in bright environments difficult.
Thus, it is recommended to either disable the feature or raise the overall brightness in these situations.
