How to Enable Night Shift in iOS 11 Control Center on iPhone and iPad

Accessing Night Shift quickly has changed in iOS 11, and while Night Shift is still easily accessible via Control Center on iPhone and iPad, users will have to dig just slightly deeper to reveal the Night Shift setting toggle and be able to enable and disable the feature through Control Center. For the unfamiliar, Night Shift is the excellent iOS feature which adjusts an iPhone or iPad displays color hue to be warmer during the evening hours, theoretically helping to reduce eye strain and perhaps even improve sleep by reducing blue light exposure too. Night Shift is really popular, and while its perhaps best , users can also toggle Night Shift off and on through Control Center whenever wanted. In iOS 11, the Night Shift toggles in Control Center are hidden however, but dont worry they are still easy to find and adjust as needed. Accessing the Night Shift toggles in iOS 11 Control Center is the same on iPhone and iPad, though due to screen size it may look slightly different. Heres how it works: If Night Shift is turned on, the settings toggle switch will be orange and state Night Shift On Until (time), whereas if Night Shift is disabled it will state that. The Until time stated in the Night Shift toggle of Control Center is the time that is set in the , which is recommended to enable and on the warmest tolerable setting for best results. iPhone and iPad users can also continue to access Night Shift through the iOS Settings app too, where it is found within the Display & Brightness settings as Night Shift, with switches for scheduling, manually enabling or disabling, and to adjust color temperature. Remember that when Night Shift is enabled, the screen will be warmer in appearance. That means the colors will shift to be more orange and brown on the display, almost having a sepia tone type appearance. When Night Shift is disabled, the screen will look as usual. And thats how you access Night Shift in iOS 11 Control Center! Its always possible that a future iOS software update will give an additional option to directly toggle Night Shift off and on without long-pressing on the Brightness setting again, , but that remains to be seen. For now, just remember to tap and hold on the brightness setting in Control Center and youll see the Night Shift switch.
