9 Ways to Invert Screen or Picture Colors on iPhone

iPhone provides various accessibility features for the visually impaired. But the same features, if accidentally enabled, can annoy ordinary iPhone users. If your iPhone has an X-ray screen or the screen is gray and blue, you may have accidentally turned on one of these features. Check out different methods to invert colors on iPhone.

You can also use these methods to enable these features. Just turn the toggles on instead of turning them off. As an additional method, we also covered how to invert colors on iPhone photos. Start.

1. Use Classic Inversion

If everything on your iPhone shows different colors, follow these steps to turn off inverted colors on your iPhone:

Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select Accessibility followed by ‘Screen & Text Size’.

Step 3: Scroll down and you will find the Classic Invert option. Turn it off to disable inverted colors on iPhone.

2. Use Smart Inversion

Just like classic invert, you’ll find another accessibility setting that can invert the colors of your screen. If you see colors inverted on your iPhone screen, except for images, media, and some apps, the Smart Invert setting could be the culprit.

To turn off Smart Invert, go to Settings > ‘Display & Text Size’. Turn off the switch next to Smart Invert.

Note: On iOS 12 and earlier, you’ll find Smart Invert and Classic Invert options in Settings > General > Accessibility > Screen Adaptation > Color Invert.

3. Use color filters

Color filters are a useful accessibility feature for people who are color blind. However, if your iPhone looks a bit gray, tinted, or weird looking, this setting may be inverting the colors on your iPhone.

Step 1: Go to Settings on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap Accessibility > ‘Screen & Text Size’.

Step 3: Tap Color Filters.

Step 4: Turn off the switch next to Color Filters.

Pro Tip: If you want to use a color filter, choose the best one from the available color filter options. You can also swipe right or left on the examples at the top to find the best filter.

4. Use Accessibility Shortcuts

If your iPhone keeps inverting random colors, you may have the accessibility shortcut feature enabled. It basically lets you turn accessibility settings on or off by triple-tapping the Home button (or the side button on newer iPhones).

You must disable accessibility shortcuts as shown below:

Step 1: Open Settings on your phone.

Step 2: Go to Accessibility followed by Accessibility Shortcuts at the bottom.

Step 3: You will see a tick icon next to the enabled shortcuts. Tap the shortcuts that you want to disable, especially the smart or classic invert and color filters.

Tip: On iOS 12 and earlier, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcuts.

5. Use Dark Mode

If your iPhone background is black, Dark Mode must be enabled on your iPhone. Please note that this feature is available in iOS 13 and later.

To turn off dark mode, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Settings and go to Display & Brightness.

Step 2: Select Dark if you want to turn on night mode or choose Light if you want to turn off dark mode.

Step 3: Turn off the switch next to Auto if you want to turn off automatically turning on dark mode at a scheduled time.

Tip: See other ways to turn off dark mode on iPhone.

6. Turn off Dark Mode Focus Filter

If the screen continues to go black when you enable any of the Focus modes, it could be due to the Focus Filter feature. To turn off this feature, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Settings and go to Spotlight.

Step 2: Tap on the available focus modes in turn starting with Do Not Disturb.

Step 3: Scroll down to the Focus Filters section. If there is a cell that says Appearance, tap it.

Step 4: Turn off the switch next to Enabled and press the Done button.

7. Using the night shift

If your iPhone screen shows orange tones or warmer tones, the Night Shift feature might be the cause. To disable it, follow these steps:

Step 1: In iPhone settings, go to Display & Brightness, then Night Shift.

Step 2: Turn off the switch next to ‘Turn it on manually until tomorrow’.

Step 3: If Night Shift continues to be automatically activated, turn off the switch next to Scheduled.

8. Use the zoom filter

Another hidden setting that can invert colors on your iPhone is the Zoom filter. Follow these steps to turn off the Zoom filter:

Step 1: In iPhone Settings, go to Accessibility then Zoom.

Step 2: Tap on Zoom Filter and select None.

9. Turn off Smart Invert for Home Screen

If your home screen and status bar show different colors than the rest of the apps, Smart Invert can be enabled specifically for the home screen. To turn it off, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open iPhone Settings and go to Accessibility.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap Install per app.

Step 3: Tap Home screen, then Smart Invert. Select Off or Default.

Bonus: Invert the colors on the photo

The iPhone photo editing app doesn’t offer a native feature to invert colors on photos. So if you want to invert the colors on the photo, you have to use a third party app.

Step 1: Install and open the Picsart app on your iPhone.

Download Picsart

Step 2: Click the (+) button at the bottom and select the photo in the section Photo you want to invert.

Step 3: Click the Effects tab at the bottom.

Step 4: Go to the Color effect and choose Negative or Invert depending on how you want your image to look.

Step 5: Click the Apply button to apply the effect.

Step 6: Click the Download icon at the top to save the photo.

Pro Tip: You can also use an online tool like Pinetools to invert colors in an image.
