The article below provides users with some useful tips to avoid excessive eye strain or glare when using iPhone in night conditions, where low light affects vision. This method also applies to iPad users.
Using iPhone at night can affect vision
When using the iPhone at night, many people will feel uncomfortable when looking at the bright screen because their eyes get used to the low light of the room they are in. These unexpected light changes are dangerous for our eyes and can affect our quality of life. Eye strain in low light conditions can contribute to eye strain, sleep disturbances, and eye discomfort.
Therefore, we can take preventive measures according to the instructions below.
Night Shift
Night Shift is a smart iOS tool that becomes our best ally when we want to continue using our iPhone at night. This function automatically adjusts the color balance of the screen, reducing the emission of blue light that can affect sleep quality.

To set up Night Shift on iPhone or iPad, users should go to the Settings app > Display & Brightness > Night Shift. Here, users should turn on the Scheduled option to automatically adjust the schedule or Turn on manually until tomorrow to activate it manually.
true Tone
True Tone is another important feature that Apple provides us to take care of our eye health when using iPhone. This function is to automatically adjust the color temperature of the screen based on ambient light conditions.
To activate True Tone on iPhone, users should go to the Settings app > Display & Brightness and activate the True Tone option in the list. This way, iPhone will ensure whites look more natural in any environment, providing a more comfortable viewing experience and helping to reduce eye strain.
Screen distance
Although this can be a somewhat annoying function, adjusting the distance between our eyes and the screen is a habit that can make a difference in our vision. This feature will notify users every time the iPhone is at an inappropriate distance from the face so users can move it away if they want to continue using it.

To activate this function, users go to the Settings app > Screen time > Screen distance and make sure its activation switch is turned on.
Prioritizing eye health when using your iPhone at night means understanding and taking full advantage of the functions Apple offers us on your iPhone (and iPad). Night Shift and True Tone are useful tools that can help prevent vision-related problems caused by prolonged iPhone use at night.
