2. Tap Color Filters, turn on Color Filters, then tap a color filter to apply it.

   You can drag any slider that appears to adjust the intensity or hue. The pencils reflect how the filter affects a range of colors.

   Note: Color filters can change the look of images and videos.

Turn on Reduce White Point to tone down the intensity of bright colors.

To have screen colors become warmer as it gets dark out, use Night Shift. Night Shift automatically removes inverted colors and color filter effects (except grayscale).

Some backgrounds appear transparent or blurred by default. You can make these transparent backgrounds opaque by giving them a solid color. In this way you simplify those parts of your screen and make them easier to see.

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility> Display & Text Size.

2. Turn on Reduce Transparency.

Some screen items rely on color to convey information. You can replace these with alternative ways to tell them apart, like shapes or text.

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility> Display & Text Size.

2. Turn on Differentiate Without Color.

Switches turn green when they are on. You can also have switches use “1” to indicate when they’re on and “0” to indicate when they’re off.

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility> Display & Text Size.

2. Turn on On/Off Labels.
