How to give any iOS device a ‘Night Mode’

Posted on April 25, 2014

ios-logo-2Night Mode is absolutely awesome if you use your mobile device at night. Night Mode inverts the colors on the screen, making the device emit a lot less light – which in turn results in a lot less strain on the eyes.

While Night Node is built into a handful of popular apps, it isn’t a standard feature on all iOS devices that works regardless of what you happen to be doing with the device at any given time.

But that’s ok, because we can easily “create” a virtual Night Mode on any iOS device that can be toggled on and off as needed with a single button! Here’s how:  [Read more…]
