How Do I Turn On the iPhone Camera’s Night Mode?

By default, the iPhone camera has a Night Mode that is automatically enabled. That’s great until it’s not. So, if you would like to temporarily or permanently disable Night Mode on your iPhone camera, you can do that as of iOS 15. Before iOS 15, you could temporarily disable Night Mode on your iPhone camera, but it would reset automatically each time you opened your camera app. The iOS 15 release, however, includes the ability to turn Night Mode off entirely until you decide to re-enable it. Here’s how to permanently turn Night Mode off on your iPhone camera. Now you can close your camera, and when you open it again, Night Mode will remain in the last state you left it, which, in this case, is Off. However, if you turn it back on again and then close the camera, it will be On when you open the Camera app the next time.

How to Temporarily Disable Night Mode on the iPhone Camera

If you want to turn the Night Mode camera off for one image, you can do that by going into the Camera app, tapping the Night Mode icon, and moving the adjustment slider to the Off position (far left). However, if you have followed the instructions above, you will preserve the settings for the Night Mode camera, and you’ll need to turn it back on either before you close the camera app or the next time you open the camera app. You can, however, go back into Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings and toggle the Night Mode option back to the Off position so that Night Mode will set to On/Automatic each time you open the Camera app if you choose.
