Whenever the iPhone camera app detects you are in a low-light environment, Night mode automatically kicks in to help you capture bright photos. While this is a well-thought-out feature, the auto Night mode seems to be a hindrance at times, especially when you want to take more natural-looking images at night. And that’s what makes you want to turn off automatic Night mode on your iPhone. Well, Apple has finally introduced a new option to let you do exactly that in iOS 15, and here’s how you can turn off Night mode on your iPhone.

You can temporarily disable the Night Mode (supported on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 series) by tapping on the yellow Night Mode icon when it shows up at the top left corner of the viewfinder. But, it will turn on again the next time you open the Camera app, which is what irks many users.

Steps to Disable Automatic Night Mode in iOS 15 on iPhone

  • Launch the Settings app on your iPhone running iOS 15 or later.
  1. Now, scroll down and choose Camera.

With the auto Night Mode disabled, you will need to manually turn on the Night Mode in the Camera app if you ever wish to use it. When the camera sensor registers a low-light scene that requires brightening, a grayed-out Night Mode toggle will show up at the top left corner. Now, tap on the toggle to enable it (turns yellow when active).

For those unfamiliar, Night Mode uses a combination of dual/triple-lens and computational software to absorb the needed light from the world around you. Courtesy of the advanced technology, the shutter remains active longer than usual to pull in as much light as possible. Simultaneously, the camera app snaps a bunch of images to figure out what all needs to be sharp, while the software powered by the robust bionic chip analyzes all the angles captured and outputs a single photo. Hence, it can brighten up images captured even in dark lighting.
