by

Introduction

Hey readers,

Are you tired of the bright, white background of your iPhone apps? Do you wish you could read books and articles on your iPhone with a dark background that’s easier on the eyes? If so, then you’re in luck! In this article, we’ll show you how to get a Kindle-like black background on your iPhone, whether you’re using the Kindle app or a third-party reader app.

Using the Kindle App

With Dark Mode

The Kindle app has a built-in dark mode that you can enable to get a black background. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Kindle app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the "Aa" icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap the "Dark Mode" button.

The background of the Kindle app will now be black.

With Smart Invert

If you don’t want to use the Kindle app’s built-in dark mode, you can use the Smart Invert feature in iOS to invert the colors of the screen. This will give you a black background in the Kindle app, but it will also invert the colors of everything else on your screen.

To enable Smart Invert, go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Then, tap the "Smart Invert" button.

Using a Third-Party Reader App

There are several third-party reader apps available in the App Store that offer a black background. Some popular options include:

Libby

Libby is a free app that allows you to borrow ebooks from your local library. Libby has a built-in dark mode that you can enable to get a black background.

Moon+ Reader

Moon+ Reader is a paid app that offers a variety of features, including a customizable dark mode. You can adjust the brightness, contrast, and sepia of the dark mode to get the perfect reading experience.

Readlax

Readlax is a free app that offers a minimalistic reading experience. Readlax has a dark mode that you can enable to get a black background. Readlax also offers other features, such as adjustable text size and line spacing.

Benefits of a Black Background

There are several benefits to using a black background when reading on your iPhone. These benefits include:

  • Reduced eye strain: A black background is easier on the eyes than a bright, white background. This is because the black background reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen. Blue light has been shown to cause eye strain and disrupt sleep.
  • Improved readability: A black background can make it easier to read text, especially in low-light conditions. This is because the black background provides a high contrast between the text and the background.
  • Longer battery life: A black background can help to extend the battery life of your iPhone. This is because the black background uses less power than a white background.
