As someone who's spent more late nights with my iPhone than I care to admit, I've become intimately acquainted with the struggle of eye strain. Even with Night Shift's warm glow, my eyes were still begging for mercy during those midnight scrolling sessions. I was one bright notification away from considering a digital detox.
While exploring iOS 18's new features, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that had been there all along: the grayscale filter. Who knew my iPhone had been harboring this eye-saving secret? The update itself is impressive, letting you navigate your home screen with eye tracking and quickly sort photos by category. It even includes Clean Up, Apple's take on Android's magic editor. But for me, discovering this pre-existing filter was the real game-changer.
