These days, there are more iPhone settings than most users know what to do with, allowing the iPhoners of the world to fine tune their user experience as much as they desire.

Dark mode is a setting that essentially lets you replace the standard bright backgrounds on your device and its apps with black or dark grey color schemes. The setting was designed to help reduce eye strain for iPhone users, particularly in low-light situations. Dark mode can be helpful for users who struggle with low-contrast digital displays, and it also helps extend battery life.

You can go a little darker into dark mode if you like, though there’s not a single setting available on iPhone to do so. Instead, you will need to adjust multiple different settings to make it happen. Here’s how.
