Want to reduce eye strain or save battery on your Android phone? Switching to grayscale mode is a simple solution. This guide explains how to make your Android display black and white using built-in settings.
Method 1: Accessibility Settings
Most Android devices offer a grayscale option via accessibility settings:
Open Settings and navigate to Accessibility.
Look for Color correction or Color adjustment (names vary by device).
Select Grayscale or Monochromacy and toggle it on.
This instantly switches your screen to black and white, ideal for reading or reducing distractions.
Method 2: Developer Options
For more control, use Developer Options:
Go to Settings > About Phone.
Tap Build Number seven times to unlock Developer Options.
Return to Settings > System > Developer Options.
Under Hardware accelerated rendering, find Simulate color space.
Choose Monochromacy to enable grayscale.
Note: Menu names may differ based on your Android version or manufacturer (e.g., Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus).
Why Use Grayscale?
Grayscale mode can save battery on OLED/AMOLED screens, reduce eye strain, and help curb phone addiction by making the display less vibrant. It’s also great for e-reading or nighttime use.
Tips
Check your Quick Settings panel for a grayscale toggle (if available).
Use apps like Grayscale Mode from the Play Store if your device lacks built-in options.
Combine with low brightness for maximum battery savings.
