Android (at least version 12) has a bedtime mode that converts the display to B&W. There's also an eye comfort shield feature.

However, I stick to using the Blue Light Filter Android app, which is amazing. Not sure if it's available for iOS.

On Samsung at least, you can set a key shortcut to enable B&W mode.

I try and use it most of the time, and the shortcut makes it easy to see things in colour if needed.

You might not have noticed, but check for the button called "Extra Dim" in your Samsung top area quick controls. It's not enabled by default but allows toggling additional dimming. You can customise it in settings to control the level of dimming, adding a a screen or key shortcut, and control whether it activates on phone reboot or not. Key shortcut (or deactivate on reboot) can be helpful if you set it way up, and have adaptive brightness off, and it is a sunny day.

iOS has a similar feature called Night Shift (Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift)
