If you’re reading this article, chances are that you’re interested in biohacking and want to mitigate artificial blue and green light in your iPhone.

This article will guide you through the settings for older iPhones (8 and below) and newer iPhones (X and newer)

iPhone 8 and Older

Step 1: Find and select the “Colour Filters” option by going through Settings → General → Accesability → Display Accomodations

Step 2: Enable “Colour Filters” with the green toggle/switch and then choose “Colour Tint” as your default setting. Scroll down and find the “Intensity” and “Hue” sliders. To maximise benefit, increase both of these sliders to the highest setting.

Once your done, you can switch between your normal screen and red tint on command just by pressing the home button three times.
