iOS 10 public beta 1 was released a few days ago. Within the release is a new section called “Display Accommodations.” Within there is a section called “Color Filters”

to help users that are color blind. As someone who suffers from Deuteranopia, I was extremely interested to test drive this feature.
I decided to test drive by taking an online color blindness test, first with no filters activated, then again with the Green/Red Filter applied.
Enchroma Color Test
After taking my first test, results confirm what I already knew, that I am a Deutan.

I repeated the test using the green/red color filter in iOS 10. Results show normal color vision. Did this fix my vision? Obviously not, but it does make sure that I am not missing information on the screen by shifting the colors to the spectrum I can see.

Thanks Apple. Great add!
