This How.com.vn teaches you how to change everything on your iPhone's screen to black and white or grayscale. Using your iPhone in grayscale mode can be easier on your eyes than full color, and can also be helpful in distinguishing icons and images if you're colorblind. You may also want to use grayscale if you find yourself easily distracted by apps and games, as a colorless screen won't be as enticing. You can easily switch to grayscale in your Accessibility settings.
Things You Should Know
- Open your iPhone's Settings and select "Accessibility."
- Go to Display & Text Size > Color Filters, then toggle on the Color Filters switch.
- Tap "Grayscale" to enable grayscale mode.
