How do i invert the colors on my iphone

The iPhone is one of the most popular devices on the planet, coming in a range of shapes and sizes in the years since its debut. In that time, iOS has become an advanced operating system, progressively growing to include a plethora of features and innovations across each new iteration. Among those features is the ability to invert the iPhone's colors. However, the option can be a bit difficult to find.

Inverting an iPhone's colors can be useful for a few different reasons, though its primary function is to reduce eye strain from staring at a screen, as well as helping with glare while out in the sun. It's not a feature that many are privy to, which has left many unfamiliar with where to find it. Of course, it's possible to accidentally invert an iPhone's colors too, so some may just be looking to turn it off.

   Is Invert the Same as Dark Mode?

   Dark mode is a feature of some operating systems and apps that changes the colors of the user interface from the standard bright colors to darker colors. These dark colors are more appropriate for night use and for avoiding eye strain. Changing the color can be done either manually by the user or automatically based on ambient light or time of day. 

   On older versions of the iOS, there wasn't a true dark mode function for iPhone or iPad. That changed in iOS 13. Read all about it in How to Enable Dark Mode on iPhone and iPad.

   The macOS also has a dark mode feature. On macOS Mojave or newer, you can turn your Mac's Dark Mode on or off.

   Are Invert and Night Shift the Same Thing?

   While both the Invert feature and Night Shift adjust the colors of the iPhone or iPad screen, they don't do it in the same way.

   Night Shift—a feature available on iOS and Macs—changes the overall tone of the colors on the screen by reducing blue light and making the tone of the screen yellow. This is thought to avoid the disruption of sleep that some people experience from using blue-tinted screens in the dark.
