iOS lets you turn on a red filter that disables the green and blue channels. you can set it to turn on by triple tapping the home button (or I'm guessing the back for new phones). This is the one thing I really miss after switching to Android. The red screen is fantastic for reading at night, really easy on the eyes.
- davchana 6y agoMy Android 10 Realme Pro2 has a option to desaturate screen every day at a fixed schedule.
- city41 6y agoYeah Android has some features and apps in this space. This iOS mode is an accessibility feature. I guess for some people a pure red screen helps them see it better? This feature is not intended as a "night mode", it's very extreme. It also makes anything that has no red channel in its color disappear (although this is rare). I found it's a better night mode than actual night modes. But it's best if you're just reading text, for video or games it's probably too extreme.
- ponderingfish 6y agoThat the night-shift mode right? I've been using it for almost 2 years I think. I have the same settings on my iPhone and macbook pro
- evan_ 6y agoNo, it's a different thing. Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters
- jtvjan 6y agoCf.lumen has this feature (yes, true red colouring, not just a yellow tinge like night shift), but it requires root and it's not updated anymore. (you need to find the 3.72 beta version online for it to work on Android Q)
- irrational 6y agoAlso fantastic when out star gazing.
- culopatin 6y agoAndroid got night light even before Apple did, you could just set it at high intensity, but I’m sure you know this.
