How to Set Up Night Reading Mode for iPhone or iPad Screens


Night reading mode works great on apps for reading books, like the Kindle eBook app. But not all book apps include the feature. A night reading mode turns the screen’s background dark, while providing white or light-colored text. Users will want to do this when reading in a dark room, so that the backlit screen doesn’t annoy others in bed at night.

 You could also use it while typing in a room where someone is presenting at work with the lights turned down. Using the iPhone Accessibility features, users can turn on a work-around night reading mode of sorts. This changes the entire OS user interface on the iPhone or iPad like the image below. We can set this feature to turn on using the Home button via the iPad’s Settings.
