Troubleshooting

What Reading Mode effects are available?

OnePlus offers two Reading Mode styles – Mono and Chromatic.

The Mono effect turns your screen greyscale, placing more focus on words rather than images. The Chromatic effect maintains the coloured elements but applies a warm tone to the screen, making it more comfortable for the eyes when reading.

How do you turn off Reading Mode?

You can switch off Reading Mode when it’s activated by following the steps above once more but tapping the toggle off instead of on at Step 3.
