How to Turn Off Yellow Light on iPhone: Quick Guide to Disable Night Shift and True Tone Features

The “yellow light” on your iPhone typically refers to the warmer display tone that appears when Night Shift or True Tone is enabled. These features are designed to reduce blue light exposure and make your screen easier on the eyes, but sometimes you may prefer a standard, neutral color temperature. Here’s how you can turn off the yellow light and return your iPhone display to its regular appearance:

1. Turn Off Night Shift:Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Display & Brightness.
3. Tap Night Shift.
4. Switch off Scheduled and Manually Enable Until Tomorrow.
5. Disable True Tone:
6. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
7. Toggle off the True Tone switch.
8. Adjust Color Filters (if enabled):
9. Open Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters.
10. Make sure Color Filters is turned off.

As a designer, I know how crucial accurate color representation is—whether you’re reviewing project photos or planning hues for a new room. Lighting can truly affect both mood and perception. If you’re previewing mood boards, digitally sketching a space, or working on visual projects, I recommend ensuring your iPhone’s color profiling is set to neutral. This way, you see elements like wall colors and furnishings as they actually are. For more advanced renderings or detailed planning, using a dedicated 3D Render Home platform can offer better color accuracy and creative freedom.

Tips 1:

Sometimes, auto-brightness can also impact your screen’s display warmth. Turn it off in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto-Brightness (scroll to the bottom).
