How to lower brightness on your iPhone even more than usual

1. Go into your iPhone and open the Settings app.

2. Search or scroll for the "Accessibility" page.

3. Select "Zoom" under the "Vision" category.

4. Enable the "Zoom" function. The button is at the very top, with bulleted instructions on how to use the Zoom function below.

5. After you have enabled Zoom, on the same page, click on "Zoom Filter."

6. At the very bottom, select "Low Light."

Once you select Low Light, your screen should immediately dim to an even lower brightness setting than before.

You can still toggle brightness as you usually would, through the Control Center, which is pulled up by swiping down from the right corner of your iPhone.
