Though this is primarily an accessibility option, there are uses outside of this to consider too.
A black-and-white screen canhelp you disconnectand cut back on yourscreen timeby making your phone less fun to use.
Another reason to consider a black-and-white screen is to avoid distractions.
Switching your display to black and white can helpprevent eye strain.
First, head to the “tweaks” app and tap on Accessibility.
Next, select Display and Text Size.
Scroll down until you find the “Color Filters” setting and tap on it.
Now, toggle “Color Filters” on.
And select Grayscale from the options.
Your phone should now display in black-and-white mode.
Here’s how:
The first thing you oughta do iscreate an automationto turn on grayscale at sunset.
Now tap on “Time of Day”
Select “Sunset” from the options.
Once you’ve made your choice, hit “Done” in the top right corner.
Now it’s time to attach an action to your automation.
Tap the “Add Action” button to choose what your automation will do.
In the search bar, punch in in “Set Color Filters.”
The corresponding setting should appear in the options.
Tap on it to proceed.
On the next page, you should find an automation to “Turn Color Filters On.”
Ensure that this is correct and tap “Next.”
By default, your iPhone asks you for permission before running any automation.
Confirm that you want your automation to run without asking.
Hit “Done.”
At this point, you’re halfway done.
Now you should probably create another automation to turn grayscale mode off at sunrise.
Hit “Next” once you’re done.
Don’t forget to disable “Ask Before Running,” before you finish your automation.
It should look something like this.
Now, your phone will automatically turn grayscale on at sunset, and back off at sunrise.
Sunset and sunrise are just two suggestions.
If you’d rather use a grayscale iPhone between specific work hours, use those instead.
