Why is my iPhone in black and white?

Someone or you may have accidentally activated the Grayscale mode in the accessibility setting. Starting with iOS 8, the Grayscale mode was meant to help people with color-blindness use the iPhone easier. It is not that helpful though if you have normal vision but luckily, this setting can be turned on and off any time you want.

If your display is getting dimmer or going black, here’s some solution for iPhone screen getting black.

How do I get the color back on my iPhone?

1. In order to change your iPhone back to color, go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility and tap the slider to the right of Grayscale. Your iPhone will instantly change from black and white to full color.

2. If your iPhone is still black and white, go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> Zoom Filter and tap None.

3. Before you declare the problem solved for good, it’s important for me to point out one more setting that may be causing Grayscale to turn on and off without your knowledge. Head back to Settings -> General -> Accessibility, scroll all the way to the bottom, and tap Accessibility Shortcut.Accessibility Shortcut is a handy feature that makes it easy to turn accessibility features on and off by triple-clicking the Home button. If any of the features you see listed have checkmarks to the right, it means that you can enable that feature by triple-clicking the Home button.If Grayscale is checked, tap the checkmark to turn off that accessibility shortcut. That way, you can’t accidentally turn Grayscale on or off as you go throughout your day.
