Make your screen dimmer than the minimum brightness level
When you use your iphone or ipad at night the brightness of the screen can prove dazzling, even at its lowest setting. Not only does this risk hurting your eyes, but it may also disturb anyone else in the room.
You can fix this problem using a secret accessibility setting called Reduce White Point, which lets you dim your display more than the minimum brightness setting will allow. By creating a shortcut for the option, you’ll be able to switch it on and o at the touch of a button, and use your device more comfortably at night.
To activate the feature, open the Settings app on your iphone or ipad and tap Accessibility then ‘Display & Text Size’. Switch on the Reduce White Point option ( 1 in our screenshot right) and drag the slider to your desired brightness level – the higher the percentage, the dimmer your screen will be.
To create a shortcut for the setting, tap Control Centre in the Settings app and tap the plus icon next to Accessibility Shortcuts. Go back to the Accessibility screen, tap Accessibility Shortcut and select Reduce White Point to add it to the Shortcuts menu.
Open the Control Centre by swiping down from the top-right corner of your screen and press the Accessibility Shortcuts tile – this looks like a man inside a circle. Tap ‘Reduce White Point’ 2 to turn the option on and o, and adjust your screen brightness accordingly.
