#17: How Low Can You Go?
Even on their lowest settings, phone screens can still feel too bright in dark environments. If you’re someone who scrolls in bed or reads on your phone at night, there’s a helpful trick buried in your settings. Go to the accessibility section and look for “display and text size,” where you can reduce the white point of your screen.
This lowers the intensity of bright colors, making the screen dimmer than your regular brightness slider allows. It’s perfect for reducing eye strain and creating a more comfortable viewing experience in low-light conditions. Many people don’t realize this option exists, but it can make a big difference for night owls or anyone with light sensitivity. Once you activate it, you might find it becomes a go-to setting whenever you want to use your phone without lighting up the whole room.
