True Tone is a feature that adjusts the display's white balance based on ambient lighting. It uses sensors to measure the light around the device and modifies the display to match these conditions. This feature helps maintain consistent and natural colors in different environments.
The primary goal of True Tone is to reduce the contrast between the screen and surrounding light. When enabled, it automatically adjusts the screen’s color temperature, making it easier on the eyes. The display adapts to various lighting conditions, including sunlight, artificial indoor light, or dim environments.
True Tone operates continuously and requires no manual adjustment once activated. It works in real-time, modifying the screen’s appearance to make the content look more natural. This function is useful for extended device usage, minimizing eye strain by mimicking the look of paper.
True Tone adjusts automatically to match the ambient light, helping reduce eye strain.
Steps to adjust display color using True Tone:
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down and tap Display & Brightness.
- Toggle True Tone to enable or disable it.
