Make your screen easier on the eyes before bed
Warming up your screen's colors in the evening can help ease eye strain. Most devices let you schedule this to switch on and off automatically, so you don't have to remember to toggle it every night.
Curious about dark mode too?
Dark mode and night mode solve different problems -- one changes background brightness, the other changes color temperature -- so it's worth understanding how each works if you're trying to make screen time easier on your eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does turning on night mode change how photos look too?
Night mode adjusts the color temperature of your entire screen, so if you need accurate color for photo editing or design work, it's best to turn it off temporarily.
Are dark mode and night mode the same feature?
No -- dark mode changes bright backgrounds to dark ones, while night mode (or Night Shift/Night Light) shifts the screen's color temperature to reduce blue light. They're independent features that can be used together.
