    Activating Night Shift via Control Center

    Aside from the iOS settings menu, you can also access the Night Shift shortcut control from the Control Center of your iPhone.

    • To do this, launch the Control Center then firmly press the Brightness control icon. Doing so will launch three relevant shortcut controls including Dark mode, Night Shift and True Tone. Simply tap Night Shift to turn the feature ON or OFF.

    Night Time makes use of the iPhone’s geolocation and clock to determine whether it’s sunset or sunrise. Thus, verify and ensure that your iPhone’s date and time settings are set to automatic so that the correct time zone is in use.

    If you no longer wish to use this feature, simply turn off either switch for Night Shift from the settings menu or through the control center.

    And that’s all about activating night shift on the Apple iPhone 14 device.
