How to Turn on & View the inverted Colors Screen on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Inverting colors on an iPhone can enhance visual accessibility for those with vision impairments or for users who need higher contrast to read text and view images more comfortably. This feature is part of Apple’s commitment to accessibility, allowing users to switch the display to an inverted color scheme, which can make the screen easier to view under certain conditions or simply provide a different visual experience.

The option to invert colors is built into the iOS operating system and can be toggled on or off easily through the Settings app. This functionality includes two modes: ‘Smart Invert,’ which reverses the colors of the display except for images, media, and some apps that use dark color styles, and ‘Classic Invert,’ which reverses all colors. Here’s how you can turn on and view the inverted colors on your iPhone.
