iOS 8.0.1 and Invert Colors

My colors have been inverted for almost 2 years now (switched them in the settings so they are right) but now it is fixed and I can finally use the night shift feature again!! This post was very helpful - thank you!

Hi AppleUser2110,

If you are having issues with the functionality of your Accessibility features being changed, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.

First, quit all running applications and test again -

iOS: Force an app to close

Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,

I had the same problem with the backwards toggle and solved it accidentally. If you haven't already restored your device, or to fix it if it happens again, here is what worked for me:

Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom

• Switch on "Show Controller" (You may need to toggle it off and then on again.)
• Tap the zoom controller and select "Choose Filter." If your "Inverted" filter is checked, switch to "None."
• (You can Hide the controller now)
• If your Zoom Region is set to Full Screen Zoom, you may want to switch it to Window Zoom.

I'm guessing I accidentally turned on full screen zoom, with a zoom setting at 0% and an inverted filter selected. The inverted filter must not talk to the invert color toggle.

Thanks so much for this. Worked like a charm.

Thanks! This was driving me insane. Your solution worked perfectly.

THANK YOU!!!!

it was driving me insane as well! (I was *this* close to just restoring/resetting my entire iPhone 5s (iOS 8.2), as I thought it was a bug or a glitch

I use Zoom all the time - but I have Show Controller turned off. - yet for some unknown reason, sometimes the controller still comes up (even zoom window),

so guess somehow I flipped it to invert. (while it was still in my pocket)

thank god i was able to google up this thread!!!

it's something Apple should address, ..as Im sure it's occurred to countless other people.

those preferences should be available in the zoom control preferences,. not hidden inside the controller button as they are now.

OH my god thank you so much for your great help.. At last i did that..

I imagine this is some kind of bug or glitch, as the SAME exact thing happened to a girlfriend of mine (and she never even knew she had Zoom turned on!)
fortunately I recognized what was going on and was able to change it back for her. But it can't be just a coincidence.

So glad I found this, I knew it was some weird side interaction between accessibility settings, I remember struggling to get rid of the zoom controler after my little 3 years old managed to play with the phone for a while, once you do that it is virtually impossible to find the well hidden cross-setting.

Thanks, ciao

You're my hero brick layer

Thank you so much! This solve the problem. I was caring my phone in my pocket and it must have pressed the screen too many times in the wrong place. Thank you again that was not an easy solution to find.
