iPad/iPhone screen looks like X-ray.

October 31, 2013Uncategorizedadmin

Does your iPhone/iPad screen look like it’s in a x-ray or negative mode? If so, there is a good chance the “Invert Colors” option is turned on. Here is how you can turn that option off if you accidentally enabled it:

1) Go to “Settings” and then tap “General.”
2) Tap the “Accessibility” option.
3) There is an “Invert Colors” option that you can toggle on/off with a swipe.


Update: June 2022

If you’re on iOS 13 or later, Accessibility has moved.

1) Go to “Settings” and scroll down and tap “Accessibility”.
2) Tap “Display & Text Size”.
3) Scroll down to the “Classic Invert” option that you can toggle on/off with a swipe.

Margaret,
You may have a hardware issue. You can try restoring the software, however if that doesn’t work. It’s best to take it to your nearest service location.

Thanks!

I don’t have any apple products but my kid does. This post was very helpful.

Is there a way it might have randomly switched itself on? She’s positive she didn’t do this.

I have IOS 14 on my phone. I was having the issue of my photos looking like an Xray. I read the comments above but couldn’t locate the inverter options listed. I went settings, general, display and text size and then to “smart Invert”, and turned it off. It WORKED! 🙂
Hope this helps others.

Nothing is working. If I choose to read comments, the picture becomes normal behind the comments. I’ve tried turning on and off all the comments from google. Any new ideas?

I had the same issue. When I went to Accessibility, Smart Invert and Classic Invert were toggled off. What worked? Tap the screen three times quickly using 4 fingers. Click on Choose Filter. Select None.
