How Do I Turn Off Black and White on My Samsung Galaxy Phone Screen?

Ever wake up to your Samsung screen in black and white? It’s frustrating, right? I’ve been there. Sometimes it’s just a quick accidental change. No big deal. You can fix it easily.

There are two main ways this happens. The first is a setting related to routines. The second involves accessibility tweaks.

Let’s look at both. One of them will solve your issue.

Solution 1: Check Your Modes and Routines

Ever notice your phone acts differently at night? There’s a feature called Modes and Routines. Your phone changes settings based on the time or place. If sleep mode kicks in, it’ll turn your screen black and white.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap on Modes and Routines.
  3. Find Sleep Mode.
  4. Tap Turn Off.

Simple, right? That should fix it. If not, we’ve got another method.

Solution 2: Adjust Accessibility Settings

Sometimes, your phone’s trying to help but messes things up. That’s where Accessibility settings come in. There’s a feature called Grayscale under color correction. If this setting is on, everything turns black and white.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll to Accessibility.
  3. Tap Vision Enhancements.
  4. Find Color Correction.
  5. Turn the toggle Off.

Boom! Your colors should be back. It’s like putting the world back into color after watching an old movie.

It’s easy to toggle these things by mistake. Maybe your phone is too smart for its own good. The key is knowing where to find these settings. These two methods will have your screen back to normal in no time.
