Enable Smart Invert for low light viewing on iPhone iOS 11

iOS 11 has improved its dark mode view which inverts screen colors to easy eye strain while using the device in the dark.

To enable this feature, first make sure the device is running iOS version 11, then open Settings, tap General->Accessibility, then tap Smart Invert Colors to enable it with a check mark. Once enabled, the Smart Invert Colors mode can be toggled on and off by triple-tapping the home button.
