To do classic invert on your iPhone 13, you need to navigate through the accessibility settings to the Display & Text Size options and select Classic Invert.
Inverting colors on your iPhone can be a useful accessibility feature, especially for users with visual impairments or those who prefer a different visual experience. The iPhone offers two types of inversion: Smart Invert and Classic Invert. Classic Invert simply reverses all colors on the screen.
Steps to Enable Classic Invert on iPhone 13
Enabling Classic Invert is a straightforward process via your iPhone's settings. Follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone 13.
- Scroll down and tap on Accessibility.
- Under the Vision section, tap on Display & Text Size.
- On this screen, you will find the options for color inversion. Tap the Display. And text size button select either the smart invert or the classic invert. Select Classic Invert from the available options.
Once selected, your iPhone's screen colors will immediately invert.
Understanding Classic Invert
Classic Invert reverses all colors on the display without making exceptions. For example, white becomes black, black becomes white, red becomes cyan, green becomes magenta, and blue becomes yellow. This can be particularly helpful in situations with bright backgrounds or for users who benefit from high contrast.
Classic Invert vs. Smart Invert
It's important to distinguish between Classic Invert and Smart Invert.
- Classic Invert: Reverses all colors on the screen uniformly.
- Smart Invert: Reverses most colors but leaves images, media, and some apps visually unaffected. It aims to provide a similar effect to dark mode without inverting content that should remain as is.
Here's a simple comparison:
| Feature | Classic Invert | Smart Invert |
|---|---|---|
| Color Reversal | Reverses all colors | Reverses most colors |
| Images/Media | Inverts images/media | Does not invert images/media |
| App Compatibility | May affect app visuals | Tries not to affect app visuals |
For a complete reversal of all screen colors, Classic Invert is the option you need.
You can toggle Classic Invert off by following the same steps and deselecting the option. Additionally, you can set up an Accessibility Shortcut for Classic Invert to quickly turn it on or off by triple-clicking the side or Home button (depending on your iPhone model and settings).
