If you want to handle the Night Light feature yourself, you can easily do that by adding a Quick Settings menu. Then hit the pencil-shaped edit button. Scroll down till you find the Night Light toggle. Long-press it and then drag it to the darker gray part at the top of your phone’s screen.After doing that, tap the back button, then you will have a hand switch for activating the Night Light Mode at any time.After enabling the feature, the screen will display an orange hue when the Night Light feature is on. This means that the screen emits fewer blue light frequencies thus making it easier for you to sleep at night especially if you usually use your device after dark.
