My daughter (6) was messing around with my parents iPad. Now everything on the screen, including the background, icons (or whatever they are called), and even the photos are all bright and look like negatives on a strip of film.

Where do I go to change the settings back?

even when I turn the camera on everything looks whacky. I can't even see my face. I look like a ghost.

That's what I thought, but brightness only changes how bright/dim the screen is. It doesn't change the look of all the icons, background, or even the the photos that are saved (yes, even the photos are effected0.

It's my parents...I don't sync it, or have anything to do with it. I'm thinking it's easier than that, and can be done in the settings somehow.

This is like fixing the clock on your parent's VCR so it doesn't keep flashing 12:00 😂

Try this:

If that doesn't work, smash it with an iBrick.

TG got it- it's an accessibility option. Three quick clicks of the home button will probably fix it. (if you haven't changed the default)

don't worry,,

Senior Citizens don't even know how to use a cell phone.

They'll never know the difference...

#9, #10, & #12 = nail, head

That did it. Thanks. 👍

Amazing what a kid can do to one of these things. How they navigate and find just the right (wrong) buttons to push is irritating.

Just hit the home button 3 times quickly. That will toggle the white on black / black on white..

No harm done.

Opps. That is if it's set to triple click.. Go to settings, accesabilty , triiple click.... If not, turn it on and you can toggle it via the home button...
