Simulating Dark Mode on iPhone For Any Website
Today I learned that on iPhones, you can simulate dark mode for any website by enabling a few Accessibility features (finally I can read HN at night). I tested it on the latest version of iOS (18.1).
Initial Setup
First, you'll need to configure some accessibility settings on your iPhone:
- Open your Settings app and navigate to the Accessibility section
- Scroll down to locate Accessibility Shortcut
- Enable two features by tapping them: Smart Invert and Reduce White Point
How to Use
Activating Dark Mode
When you're ready, activate the options by triple-clicking the side button (right one) and selecting "Reduce White Point" and "Smart Invert"
Deactivating Dark Mode
Triple-click the side button (right one) and deselect all options
