Less time on your smartphone: Grey on grey: This digital detox trick is surprising
Social media gobbles up precious time like that. If only the apps weren't so attractive, some people might think. Is there nothing to be done - more than restricting messages and screen time?
The Stiftung Warentest recommends turning smartphone screens to grayscale as a digital detox measure, citing studies that show it can significantly reduce phone usage. This can be done permanently or temporarily on both iPhone and Android devices. On iPhones, users can enable grayscale in the "Settings" under "Accessibility" and then "Display & Text Size" or set up a shortcut to toggle it on and off.
The steps to enable grayscale vary on Android devices, but can often be found under "Settings", "Accessibility", and "Color correction".
