Why does iPhone black or grey out in violent scenes on videos?

My iphone blacks or greys out for a second whenever there is a violent scene, like a gunshot or arrow shot, in HBO Max, Disney plus app, etc. I cannot find ANYONE mentioning this online. It started a couple of months ago. Has ANYONE had this happen to them and if so, any way to fix it?!

I think it’s the “Dim Flashing lights” option in the “Accessibility>Motion” section of the settings. When I turn it off it stopped doing that on my end.

How to contact a Web Publisher or the Host


Contacting a web publisher or the host of a website can be helpful for various reasons, such as reporting issues with the website, seeking permission to use content, or addressing copyright concerns. The process may vary slightly depending on the website, but here are some general steps you can follow:


  1. Check the Website: First, visit the website and look for a "Contact" or "About Us" page. Many websites provide contact information there, including email addresses or contact forms.
  2. Web Hosting Company: If you have an issue related to the website's hosting, such as reporting abuse or copyright infringement, you can try contacting the web hosting company. To find the hosting company, you can use online tools like "whoishostingthis.com" or similar services. Once you identify the hosting company, visit their website and look for contact information or support options.
  3. Be Clear and Polite: Whether you are reaching out via email, contact form, or social media, always be clear, concise, and polite in your communication. Clearly state the reason for contacting them and provide any necessary details to help them understand your request or concern.
  4. Give Time for a Response: Allow some time for the web publisher or hosting company to respond. It may take a few days, depending on their responsiveness.


Remember, always be respectful in your communication, and avoid any hostile or aggressive language, as it is unlikely to yield a positive response.
