How to use your screen as a light
Choose bright white, warm light or soft light. Raise brightness only as much as you need, then open fullscreen.
On phones and tablets, keep the device stable and avoid covering vents while the screen is bright.
Common uses
Use it for quick desk light, finding an item, soft background light or a temporary reading light. Do not stare directly at a bright screen for long periods.
Warm light can feel softer at night. Bright white gives the most light when you need to see something quickly.
Brightness and comfort
Start with lower brightness and raise it slowly. A bright screen in a dark room can feel harsh and may bother your eyes.
