Step 2: Creating a Triple-Click Shortcut

To streamline the process of switching between a regular screen and a red-tinted screen, you can set up a convenient triple-click shortcut.

Newer iPhone Models (iPhone X and above)

  1.  Go to Settings → Accessibility.

  2.  Scroll to the bottom and select "Accessibility Shortcut."

  3.  Choose the "Color Filters" option from the list.

  3. Choose the "Color Filters" option from the list.

Now, every time you triple-click the right side lock button of your iPhone, it will seamlessly switch between a regular screen and a red-tinted screen, blocking all blue and green light wavelengths and letting you get a better night’s sleep! 


Install blue light filters on your devices (i.e. f.lux) and consider blue light-blocking glasses.

Ideally you could try to limit screen time at least an hour before bed and blackout your bedroom.
