What Ultra Dark Mode Actually Does in iOS 26.5

iOS 26.5 adds an ultra dark mode for OLED iPhones, aiming to save battery and reduce eye strain in low light.

The new display options let users deepen the dark UI with controls for wallpapers, app themes, icons, and visibility.

Apple also includes related settings like Liquid Glass Tinting, Reduced Transparency, Reduced Bright Effects, and Reduced White Point.

The update gives users more flexibility over readability and the overall look of the interface.
