The screen brightness on iPhones during nighttime becomes excessively bright even when users set the settings to minimum.
The strong white light from the phone screen becomes difficult to handle when you are in darker areas. Your iPhone includes an unpublicized setting that lets you adjust screen brightness to new low levels.
Make Your Screen Dimmer With This Quick Trick
Your iPhone includes accessibility features designed to benefit everyone in user experience enhancement. Using Reduce White Point lets you decrease screen brightness without losing functional visibility since it reduces shine only from bright colors especially white areas.
The Reduce White Point adjustment lets you decrease the screen brightness on the brightest parts of your display. My grandmother’s bright iPhone screen problem led me to discover this brilliant feature which I use regularly now.
Reduce Your iPhone Display’s White Point Manually

The quickest method to activate Reduce White Point connects the feature to your iPhone’s Accessibility Shortcut. The feature enables you to activate Reduce White Point by pressing the side button three times. Here’s how to set it up:
- Open Settings > Accessibility.
- Under General settings find the Accessibility Shortcut option in the menu.
- Select Reduce White Point.
You can slow down the triple-click response from the Side Button menu by accessing Accessibility and choosing Click Speed options of Slow or Slowest.
Because this shortcut starts automatically you need to disable it manually when you no longer need it.
Reduce Your iPhone’s White Point With Automatically
Turn the process automatic by creating Shortcuts app commands. Your screen will automatically dim during nighttime and activate automatically in the morning through this setup.
To set up the automation:
- Open the Shortcuts app and select the Automation tab from the available options.
- Press the plus symbol followed by selecting Time of Day.
- Select 10:45 PM as the time you want lower screen brightness.
- Choose the Daily option while allowing the shortcut to work right this moment.
