Night mode (also called "Night Shift", "Night Light" or "Blue Light Filter" depending on the system) adjusts the colour temperature of the display: instead of cool, bluish light, the screen emits warmer, more yellowish light. Blue light can strain the eyes after prolonged exposure and affect the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Night mode is especially helpful in the evening and for people with sensitive eyes. It can be activated manually or set to switch on and off automatically based on the time of day or sunset.

Tip: Night Shift can also be activated quickly via Control Centre (press and hold the brightness slider).
Open Settings > Display > Night mode or Blue light filter. Turn on the feature and adjust the intensity. On many devices you can set up an automatic schedule (e.g. on Samsung under Display > Blue light filter > Turn on as scheduled).

Open System Settings > Displays > Night Shift. Enable Night Shift manually or set up automatic times. Use the slider to choose between warmer and cooler colour tones.
