Reduce eye strain in iOS 10 with overlay filters. This feature works on all iOS devices: iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE and other models that support iOS 10.
Light filters are different from the feature introduced in iOS 9.
A task night shift- exclude the blue radiation of the screen, which acts on the nervous system as a pathogen. As a result, the display is painted in an orange-beige tint.
But this is not the best way. There is something more interesting.
Make your screen blood red, you won't regret it
light filter allows you to make the screen completely red. And this solution has many advantages.
Our eyes distinguish red color worse than others. There is an optical illusion: a screen with a red light filter forces the eyes to perceive the image in the same way as when using a lower brightness level. So you can watch a red screen in a completely dark room without any discomfort.
Scientists conducted a series of experiments on rodents, exposing them to light of different colors: white, blue and red. Under the influence blue light The animals are depressed. White light had no negative impact. Action red light not inferior to complete darkness, in which the test subjects felt comfortable.
The phenomenon of minimal exposure to red light on the retina is explained by the feature ganglion cells who practically do not react to it. The use of red lights on the streets is not accidental: red light has a positive effect on human well-being.
When you take your eyes off the iPhone screen, you instantly adapt to the dark. This happens faster than in Night Shift mode or when you refuse to use the filter.

Convenient access
iPhone X is smaller than iPhone 8 Plus. However, due to the large diagonal, reaching the upper corners of the screen can be problematic if you use the smartphone with one hand.
However, the top icons can be pulled up to a comfortable height. For this you need:
Go to Settings => General => Accessibility;
and enable Easy Access, which is disabled by default.
Now, you can drag the home or any other screen down and the top apps will pull up to the center of the display.
With Easy Access activated, Control Center or Notification Center can also be accessed from the middle of the screen. To do this, just first drag down at the bottom of the display, and then swipe down on the left or right edge of the screen.
Battery level
There are several ways to find out the percentage of battery charge. The fastest of them is to drag the upper right corner of the display and bring up the Control Center.
Fast switching between applications
To switch between applications, just pull the bottom tap of the screen up and make a short pause. The instructions say that the pause should be long, but, in fact, to switch between applications it is enough to touch and in a split second.
Calling the last app from the home screen

Animoji video can be used as a sticker. To do this, just drag the entry to the selected message in iMessage.
View video in full screen mode
By default, when the iPhone X is held horizontally, the video does not reach the edges of the screen, so as not to crop the picture. However, if the user is not bothered by the fact that part of the image will be blocked by the protrusion under the camera, you can call up the full-screen view by double-tapping.
Decreasing brightness
For more comfortable iPhone usage X in the dark, you can reduce the brightness of the screen and remove the sharpness of the white.
For this you need:

After that, looking at the smartphone screen in a dark room will become much more comfortable. The display will become so dark that it will be difficult to see anything on it in daylight.
You can also lower the white point by pressing the side button three times. To do this, go to Settings => General => Accessibility, find "Quick Commands" at the very bottom of the screen and select the option "Lower white point".
Pseudo dark mode

Auto-brightness (or automatic screen brightness adjustment) has appeared on smartphones and phones for a long time. There is such a function on the iPhone. It automatically selects the optimal screen brightness depending on the lighting in which the user is located. This allows not only to provide maximum comfort when working with iPhone, but also significantly save battery power.
But, some users don't like the way auto-brightness works on iPhone and prefer to turn it off. Before updating to iOS 11, this did not cause any problems, but now most users do not know how to turn off auto-brightness. If you also encountered a similar problem, then this material should help you.
The source of the problem was that iOS 11 moved the auto-brightness setting. Before given function was in the "Display and brightness" section of the settings. But, now here you can only tweak the brightness manually, set up automatic locking and adjust appearance text. And no mention of automatic brightness control.
Fortunately, the auto-brightness setting hasn't been completely removed from iOS 11. It's just been moved to a different section. This was probably done so that users would use it less, and iPhone battery worked longer.
There are two ways to access the auto-brightness setting in iOS 11, using search and manually. In the first case, you just need to click on the search line, which is located at the top of the "Settings" window, enter search query"Auto-brightness" and select the second result (the one that leads to the "General - Accessibility - Adaptation" section. After that, you will see a settings page where you can turn auto-brightness on or off on your iPhone.
You can also find the auto-brightness setting manually. To do this, open the Settings app and go to the Accessibility section.
Then you need to open the section "Adaptation of the display"
After that, you will see a page with settings that relate to display adaptation. Here you can adjust color inversion, color filters, white point reduction, and turn auto brightness on or off.
In general, these changes in iOS 11 settings, of course, do not add convenience to the iPhone, but they do not lead to unsolvable problems either. It is worth remembering the new location of the “Auto-brightness” setting once, and in the future you will be able to turn it on and off at any time without any problems.
Along with support for the CarPlay car service and new Siri capabilities, it brought a number of special features not listed in the accompanying documentation. For example, as we wrote yesterday, new firmware Apple changed the animation that caused some users to experience seasickness, another non-obvious innovation was the “lower white point” mode.
Accessibility settings in iOS 7.1 have a new option called Lower White Point. It is designed to make an image on iPhone screen and iPad are more comfortable for the eyes at any brightness level setting. It is especially useful to enable this function in the evening when working with mobile device under artificial lighting. This will reduce eye strain and fatigue.
How to lower the white point in iOS 7.1 and make the screen more comfortable to see:
Step 1: Open Settings on iPhone or iPad on iOS 7.1.
Step 2: Go to the General section.
Step 3: Go to the Accessibility menu.
