This Secret iPhone Feature Could Help Protect Your Eye Health

Apple released iOS 18.3 in January, and that update brought a few bug fixes to your iPhone. But, when Apple released iOS 17 in 2023, the tech giant introduced a new feature that could help you take care of your eyes called Screen Distance

These screens appear the first time you access Screen Distance.

Then you’ll see two screens explaining what Screen Distance is and how it works. Tap Continue on both screens, and Screen Distance automatically turns on after these screens. Both screens appear only the first time you go into Screen Distance.

Now, after holding your iPhone too close to your face for a few minutes, your screen gets blocked by a message reading, “iPhone May Be Too Close.”
