How to reduce your iPhone screen beyond the minimum brightness
Discover iPhone's hidden trick to dim your screen beyond the standard settings.
We've all been there: it's late at night, the lights are off, and you just want to scroll through your phone or read an article in peace. You slide your brightness bar all the way down to the minimum, but it still feels too bright. What many iPhone users don't realize is that Apple has built a brilliant, hidden feature specifically for this problem, the Reduce White Point feature.
The Reduce White Point is like a hidden dimmer switch for your display. Unlike the regular brightness control that only lowers the backlight, this setting softens the brightest pixels on your screen, toning down harsh whites and intense colors, giving you a gentler, muted display that can go darker than the standard minimum.
This guide will show you how to access the Reduce White Point feature and reduce your phone's brightness.
