along with making it gray scale you should also combine it with turning on "reduce white point." It just generally takes down the brightness of everything. As it says "reduce the intensity of bright colours. While you have already eliminated colours its nice to have the gray's intensity be reduced even more.

True.

Thanks for pointing that out 🙂

Just did this and am already impressed. Perceived need to interact has already dropped, and the response time of the phone is phenomenally faster without the need to show all the colors. Thanks so much for the info.

So glad you tried it immediately.

And that you’re already seeing some impact.

Let me know how it goes!

I started doing that in 2018, not only on my phone but on my laptop as well.

It was interesting but not that much of a game changer, and I lost the sunset screen effect, so I switched back after a few months.

I had tried this some time ago, couldn’t do it more for than an hour. Incredibly difficult to pull it off.

It’s crazy to sometimes think that phones without colour was a norm.

Crazy, right?

I don’t mind it, if it helps reduce screen time, which it does 😄

Not easy to do it though, cause we’re so used to those bright colors.

After I read this, I reduced my tablet to greyscale. My phone? I paid way too much money to only seeing it in grey. 😄.

Tablet is good too.

You gotta start somewhere 😄
