How To Invert Colors On iPhone

Inverting colors on an iPhone is a useful accessibility feature that can make the screen easier to read for some users. Here’s how to invert colors on your iPhone:

  1. Open Settings: Tap on the “Settings” app on your iPhone’s home screen. It looks like a gear icon.
  2. Go to Accessibility: Scroll down and tap on “Accessibility.” This menu contains various features to enhance accessibility.
  3. Display & Text Size: Under the Accessibility menu, you’ll find “Display & Text Size.” Tap on it.
  4. Invert Colors: Scroll down on the Display & Text Size menu until you see the “Invert Colors” option. Tap on it.
  5. Choose Color Filters: You’ll see two options: “Smart Invert” and “Classic Invert.”
    • Smart Invert: This option inverts colors but intelligently keeps images, videos, and some apps in their original colors to prevent confusion. It’s the recommended choice for most users.
    • Classic Invert: This option inverts all colors on your screen, including images and videos. It’s a more traditional color inversion.
  6. Toggle the Switch: Tap the switch next to your preferred option (Smart Invert or Classic Invert) to enable it. Your screen colors will immediately invert.
  7. Adjust Accessibility Shortcut (Optional): If you want to quickly toggle color inversion on or off without going through settings every time, you can set up an accessibility shortcut. Scroll down on the Accessibility menu and tap on “Accessibility Shortcut.” Choose “Smart Invert Colors” or “Classic Invert Colors” based on your preference.
  8. Triple-Press Home Button (Older Models) or Side Button (iPhone X and later): If you set up the shortcut, you can activate color inversion by triple-pressing the Home button (on older models) or the Side button (on iPhone X and later).

That’s it! Your iPhone’s colors should now be inverted based on your chosen settings. This feature can be handy for those who have visual impairments or simply prefer the inverted color scheme for easier reading at night.
