Part 1. What is Dark Mode and Why Is It Important?

If you are using your iPhone for most of the time maybe for work or personal life, exposing your eyes to too much brightness can lead to eye strain and other possible eye defects in the future. Usually when you are outside and it is too bright and you look at your phone and you cannot see the screen or when at night and it is too dark but your phone is shining brightly can cause sharp and piercing effect on your eyes. The dark mode can help adjust and eliminate visual strains by just simply reversing the colors of the display. Reversing does not just mean totally reversing all the colors of the display including the writings and images. Dark mode reversing color display can easily adjust the screen without compromising the other contents.Today, you can now use ‘Smart Invert Colors’to enable dark mode in iOS 11. This technology feature was revealed by users who downloaded and installed the beta versions of iOS 11. So if you cannot wait for the official launch, you can also download the iOS 11 and discover more amazing and helpful features.

Part 2. How to Enable Dark Mode in iOS 11

If you are fond of dark modes like me probably you are as excited as I do because it has been a long time that Apple finally heard our clamors. The classic invert option was not quite satisfying as it should be and it is not fully working as it claims to be on dark mode since it inverts the colors of almost everything even the pictures, emojis and message attachments. If you want to know how to enable dark mode in iOS 11, read through these guides:

Setting Dark Mode

Step1. Open Settings and then tap General, find and press Accessibility the display Accommodations

Step2. Tap Invert Colors and toggle the Smart Invert on. There are two kinds of invert color options with the new iOS 11 namely:

  • Smart Invert (iOS 11 New Feature): This reverses the colors of the phone display except for images, media and some apps that use dark color styles. It automatically adjusts its dark mode setting without affecting other contents.
  • Classic Invert: Just simply reverse colors of the display. It usually reverses the images, emoticons and other contents.

The only down side of this Dark mode on iOS 11 feature is that it only works on system apps.

Well, let us just keep our fingers crossed that with the stable and official iOS 11 versions, it will be fixed and resolved perfectly so we can fully enjoy the dark mode feature using the Smart Invert Colors.
