How? Is something like this possible on iOS? (My expectation is "no" but if I'm wrong about that this is something I might try)...

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters > Greyscale

  Furthermore, at Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Color Filters, you can set it to quickly switch between color and grayscale when triple-pressing the main button. Helpful if you need color for a second.

I swear this comment is not intended to come off as aggressive whatsoever, purely just curious. I often wonder this when I see comments like this - why didn't you just search it up? If you copy paste "gray filters on iOS" from OP comment, it's self-explanatory. The reason I ask is because at this point, it's a trained impulse/habit for me to not ask people for things that would be quicker to search up myself. I've noticed a lot of people act the same way, but also people who lean towards asking others for everything, no matter how small a request. Trying to understand what makes people operate that way, so I want to ask you directly - is it something intentional? I.e. is it that you might know in the back of your mind you could search it up, but it's nice to hear things from a real person, and interaction is never bad?

  Maybe a web search can answer your question :)

    Google is better for answering "how do I" questions rather than "why do you" questions.

  Not OP but for me, it’s that public answers here are available to all of us. That’s great!

  That is the most polite expression of lmgtfy that I've seen in a while. Probably would not happen anywhere but HN.

    What’s Imgtfy? Asking because I’ve heard google searches have gotten pretty bad these days and a question like this on HN might stimulate more great conversation.

  my bet is on either "learned helplessness", or more likely they didn't actually care enough about the answer to look it up themselves, and were simply curious about it. Plus asking here also potentially puts the answer here for future people that were curious

    More like "taught helplessness". Google search sucks now.
