How to Use Night Mode
If you have a Samsung phone, you have two ways to make your phone easier to read at night—Samsung night mode and Samsung blue light filter. Both are easy to turn on in the Quick Settings menu. You can also schedule night mode to open automatically in Settings.
How to Use the Samsung Blue Light Filter
You can also turn the blue light filter on and off in Settings.
How to Turn On Night Mode or Blue Light Filter Manually
The easiest way to turn on night mode or the blue light filter is to simply swipe down the Notification shade. Swipe down a second time to show your Quick Settings icons — those are the icons that let you turn services On and Off on your phone (like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, your flashlight, etc.) Swipe right until you locate Night mode or Blue light filter and tap it once to turn it On. Tap it again to turn it Off.
Difference Between Samsung Night Mode and Blue Light Filter
The blue light filter affects the output of the screen itself. The benefit is it works universally because it doesn’t rely on apps following a guideline. It just reduces blue light output regardless of what is on your screen. The blue light filter won’t make your screen dimmer like night mode will, but studies suggest that filtering out blue light may help you fall asleep more easily and sleep better overall. Both modes may help with eye strain and light sensitivity during dark hours.
