    1. Has anyone else intentionally lowered their phone's screen's saturation?

      For a while now, I was getting micro-annoyed by all the "colour vomit" in my app drawer and on some modern websites and apps - even with my fairly minimal set of apps.

      Thus, around a month ago, I spontaneously decided to reduce my screen's saturation by almost half... And it actually felt pretty natural! I stopped noticing it merely minutes later, and I still never notice it unless I look at another screen while using my phone or unless I'm trying to take a photo of something where colours are very important - like when I wanted to show someone my eyeshadow blend recently. Today, my partner and I were watching old pictures/videos of the cat, and she didn't notice the lower saturation either.

      I'm aware someone on Tildes is using a phone in pure greyscale mode, but is anyone using the same "trick" as me? What are your experiences

      Kind of an awkward title, but I'm talking about settings for your phone, your OS, your coffee maker, etc.

      With all the tech in our lives, and with so many devices and software having quite a robust set of options for how they work, it's easy for us to not even know that something is available. How many cool things are we missing out on if we're just accepting the defaults?

      So, what's a setting, on anything you have or use regularly, that you recommend to others?

      What makes it so worthwhile?
