How to reduce iPhone screen brightness to lower than the iOS limit allows, help reduce eye strain

If you use the iPhone a lot at night, and though you have enabled the Night Shift feature, your eyes still get tired when you look at the screen a lot. Fortunately, you can still adjust the iPhone settings to reduce screen brightness to below the iOS limit allowed.

You may think that reducing the screen brightness too much will make the screen too dark and you cannot read it. However, that case only happens when you are outdoors or in a room with bright light. You will be amazed at how bright the iPhone screen is when dimmed and still used perfectly in a completely dark room.

So, if the lowest brightness of the iPhone screen is still too bright for you, you reduce the screen brightness to below the allowable limit with the Accessibility setting. This is how you do it.
