Hi wattdream,


We understand that the color of your iPhone has changed to black and white. If you're referring to the color of the display, you may change this in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters.

If this doesn't answer your question, can you elaborate on what you're experiencing?


Hope this helps!

Excellent question. If any options on that page are checked, this means that the feature is enabled and active. To return the phone to default color, turn off Color Filters. This is located just above Grayscale.


Instructions can be found here: Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support Review the section under "Turn on Color Filters."


All the best.

i_rina, I followed the suggestion , color filters need more explanation . In both selection (on - off) no change occurs.


Below color filters is a choice of five positions , selection of “grayscale” is checked. Looking at “color tint” the bar


selections are both approximately in the middle position . Changing any or all choices have no effect. Everything


is black and white with all phone functions. Thank you for your help. wattdream

Hi MoonJ. When you say "grayscale was disabled”, the grayscale has a check mark next to it. (unsure if this means disabled ) No change when phone is restarted. Now I put the check mark next to color tint. When phone is restarted after shut down displays have a reddish/ brown hue added to black and white appearance . All the problems occurred while I was securing I-phone into a pants pocket. I am unable to solve problem. Please help.
