There’s a little known trick for making the iPhone screen less bright than the lowest level of brightness: go to Accessibility, Zoom, set Zoom level to 100% (none), then enable a Zoom filter for brightness. Then when you enable Zoom (I set mine to be the triple-click shortcut), it makes the screen really dim.

I use this every night and usually first thing in the morning as well.



A different way that I do it:

Settings, Accessibility, Accessibility Shortcut, select “Reduce White Point”

Now triple-clicking the side button will toggle a much lower brightness setting.


+1 and you can have the Bedtime shortcut automatically toggle it too!


Cool, and amazingly these appear to be stackable. Enabling both at the same time makes the screen even dimmer.


I use the triple click to make my screen greyscale and take the brightness to 5% for reading in bed.
