Night Light adds a warm, amber tint to your display. This reduces the amount of blue light, which can help ease eye strain and make using your phone in the dark much more comfortable. If you have a Sony Xperia 1V running Android 14, this guide will show you exactly how to set it up.

How to Turn On Night Light in Your Settings

This is the main way to enable the feature and adjust its settings.

1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
2. Scroll down and tap on Display.
3. In the Display menu, select Night Light.
4. On the Night Light screen, tap the toggle switch to turn it On. You will immediately see the screen tint change.

Adjusting the Night Light Intensity

You can control how strong the warm tint is. A stronger intensity makes the screen more orange.

1. Follow the steps above to get to the Night Light settings.
2. With Night Light on, you will see a slider labeled Intensity.
3. Drag the slider left or right to make the effect weaker or stronger until it feels comfortable for your eyes.

Scheduling Night Light to Turn On Automatically

You don’t have to remember to turn Night Light on and off every day. You can set a schedule for it.

1. Go to Settings > Display > Night Light.
2. Tap on Schedule.
3. You will see two options:
   • Sunset to sunrise: This uses your phone’s location to automatically turn Night Light on at dusk and off at dawn.
   • Custom schedule: This lets you set your own start and end times. For example, you could set it from 9 PM to 7 AM.

How to Quickly Toggle Night Light from the Notification Panel

If you just want to turn it on quickly without going into settings, use the Notification Panel.

1. Swipe down from the top of your screen twice to open the full Quick Settings panel.
2. Look for the tile labeled Night Light. It might be on the second page, so you may need to swipe left.
3. Tap the Night Light tile to turn it on or off instantly.

Why You Should Use Night Light

Using Night Light is a simple change that can make a big difference. It’s perfect for reading in bed or browsing your phone in a dimly lit room. By reducing blue light, it helps minimize eye strain and can support better sleep habits.

Now you know how to enable, adjust, and schedule the Night Light feature on your Android phone. Enjoy a more comfortable viewing experience, day or night
