Setting up triple click to toggle greyscale on or off in accessibility settings whenever I need color enabled works much better for me

Originally I had grayscale mode on and it reduced my phone usage a ton, but I stopped because it got in the way of photos and camera, things like that. I changed to using the triple click accessibility shortcut but I found it relied too much on me having to remember to turn the grayscale mode back on. This automates it so I’ll try it and hopefully it helps reduce phone usage more.
What?! And miss out on setting up 72 automations for different apps that sometimes bug out?
It’s 1 automation for all apps

The clever insight here is that it automates turning grayscale back on whenever you leave (or alternatively open) an app
