How to schedule Night Shift on iPhone

Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift, turn on Scheduled and pick Sunset to Sunrise or your own hours. Drag the slider to make it warmer.

How to do it

  1. Open Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift.

  2. Turn Scheduled on and choose Sunset to Sunrise, or set your own hours.

  3. Drag the color temperature slider. Warmer is more amber. Less warm still looks like the normal screen.

Night Shift is not a sleep treatment. It only changes the screen. True Tone, on the Display screen above it, is a different feature and can stay on at the same time.

Questions people ask

Does Night Shift help me sleep?

It makes the screen warmer. Whether that helps sleep is still argued about. Putting the phone down helps more.

Is Night Shift the same as True Tone?

No. True Tone adjusts to the room's light all day. You can use both.
