How to Turn on or off True Tone on iPhone, iPad, and Mac? True Tone is a trait on Apple screens that makes them easier on the eyes. Even though it was made to help us, some people may find it annoying, especially because of the color change. This post will tell you what True Tone is and how to turn it on and off on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Your iPhone’s light sensor also measures the color and brightness of the light around you. So your device can easily get information about what’s going on around you, like the brightness level and the correct white point and illumination based on the lighting in the surroundings. The newer versions of iPhone have a feature called “True Tone” that automatically adjusts the white balance of the screen to match the lighting around you.
In reality, this means that the screen gets warmer when the light is warm and cooler when the light is cool. This is similar to how Night Shift works, but it’s not as dramatic and it’s not just for the evening. If you have an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, you probably want to keep the True Tone feature turned on. However, some iPhone users may want to turn off True Tone on their screen.
