Everything you need to know about iOS 9.3 Night Shift feature

A good handful of iOS users agree – following the ban, over 5,000 F.lux fans signed a petition asking Apple to reconsider its position. This will ensure that you do not lose any of your data on iOS 9.3 if something has to go wrong during the downgrade process and you have to revert to iOS 9.3.

So, Apple is really poised to up the educational value of its iPads big time, but this is certainly not everything. What I’m saying is, iOS is great in my opinion, but far from flawless. The fact that Wi-Fi Assist consumes more traffic data than we expected even led to lawsuits in the United States, but Apple wants to solve at least part of the problem in the new iOS 9.3.

In order to make the changes, bfodder had to so some editing in the Configurator program – this is normally only accessible to businesses and schools who need to tailor devices to their needs.

Following the revelation, f.lux has praised Apple for ‘joining the fight to use technology to improve sleep, ‘ which is a very polite way of saying mimicking its app.

Unfortunately, Night Shift mode isn’t available on every device capable of running iOS 9.3. The developers of f.lux have now publicly expressed their opinion on Apple’s Night Shift Mode. While there’s been a Mac solution to blue light for some time, no such tool has been available on a non-jailbroken iOS device.

Now this is all great, except for one little thing.

There’s now no date for when iOS 9.3 will be released.

On the other hand, I also think that f.lux should be allowed to return to iOS as well. The developers acknowledge that Apple getting involved in their field of work is important, but also points out how long the f.lux team has been working on their product. Users have since petitioned for Apple to allow it.

If you decide Night Shift isn’t for you, just shut it off by disabling Blue Light Reduction.

Night Shift’s functionality probably sounds familiar because it serves the same goal as f.lux, an app that enables your device’s display to “adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day”, all while avoiding the “eerie blue glow” that you’re probably familiar with if you find yourself texting or scrolling through Facebook late at night.
