You can toggle it\u00a0on and off yourself via the iOS Control Center, or\u00a0you can set a schedule, so the screen gradually fades to Night Shift mode at any time you\u2019d like. iOS 11 changed how the Control Center works, so we\u2019ll tackle that version separately from iOS 9.3 and 10. Scheduling works the same in all iOS versions, so we\u2019ll talk about that a bit later.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iOS_11_and_newer_Users_Toggle_Night_Shift_On_and_Off\"><\/span>iOS 11 (and newer) Users: Toggle Night Shift On and Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a modern version of iOS, like iOS 15, swipe\u00a0up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and then hard press the brightness slider to make it full screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825098\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/main-menu-options.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Hard Press the brightness slider to display the night shift toggle on iOS 15. \" width=\"329\" height=\"500\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Under the slider, tap the Night Shift icon to turn it on or off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825099\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/night-shift-long-hold.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;Night Shift&quot; button under the birghtness slider.\" width=\"303\" height=\"500\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iOS_10_and_93_Users_Toggle_Night_Shift_On_and_Off\"><\/span>iOS 10 and 9.3 Users: Toggle Night Shift On and Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using iOS 9.3 or 10, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and tap on the Night Shift icon in the center of shortcut row.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-246602\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/img_56f064109a409.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then tap the Night Shift button.
