Night mode on iPhone can refer to two different features: Dark Mode (system- wide display theme) and Night Shift or Night Mode camera features for photos. Here’s how to enable each, depending on what you want. What you probably want: Dark Mode (system-wide dark theme)
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Display & Brightness.
- Under Appearance, choose Dark to enable dark mode, or select Light to revert. You can also set Automatic to switch between Light and Dark based on time of day or sunset/sunrise.
If you meant Night Shift (tints the screen to warmer colors for eye comfort)
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Display & Brightness.
- Tap Night Shift.
- You can manually enable it by turning on “Manually Enable Until Tomorrow,” or set a schedule (From Sunset to Sunrise or a custom schedule).
If you meant Night Mode photography (camera feature)
- Open the Camera app.
- In Night mode, a moon icon appears in the top-left (or top-right in landscape). Tap it to adjust exposure and turn Night mode on or off manually.
- The feature automatically activates in low light on supported iPhone models; you can extend exposure time and choose Auto or Night Mode On depending on the model and lighting.
- For best results, hold the phone steady or use a tripod, and use the timer or volume shutter to minimize shake.
Quick toggles (optional)
- You can quickly switch between light and dark, or enable Night Shift, via Control Center: press and hold the brightness control, then use the extra controls that appear to toggle Dark Mode or Night Shift as needed.
If you tell me which specific “night mode” you’re asking about (Dark Mode, Night Shift, or Night Mode in the Camera), I can tailor the steps to your exact iPhone model and iOS version.
