Accessiblity helped but worry about the fix

I had the Zoom enabled when turn off color came back. There are times I need the Zoom. It is hard to see the content in Gray scale. This is a problem for many with sight problems.

Hello tami117,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with your iPad display. I recommend checking you do not have any Display Accommodations enabled. This article will help: Use Display Accommodations on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you still have issues, please check this help article to see if any of the contusions meet what you are seeing: Get help with the display on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you still have issues, or none of the conditions meet what you are seeing, the article recommends contacting AppleCare, or having the device checked at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store:

Learn what to do if you have a cracked or shattered screen on your iPhone or a cracked or shattered screen on your iPad.

If you don't see your issue listed or need more help, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Hello tami117,

Thanks for checking the steps and article provided. Since this only occurs while in Zoom, I recommend checking the filters in Zoom.

Go to Setting > General > Accessibility > Zoom > Zoom Filters.

Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
