A device display exhibiting a yellow tint can be attributed to several factors. These can include a display setting designed to reduce blue light emissions, a hardware malfunction affecting color calibration, or the activation of a system-wide accessibility feature. For example, a user might inadvertently enable a “Night Light” or similar feature, resulting in the perceived yellowness.
Addressing the cause of the altered screen color is important for optimal viewing experience. Reducing eye strain, especially during nighttime use, is a primary benefit of blue light reduction. However, if unintended, the color shift can distort image and video content, leading to user dissatisfaction. The issue also highlights the growing sophistication and complexity of mobile operating system features, as accessibility tools increasingly impact general device behavior.
