How to Use Night Shift on iPhone or iPad

Night Shift is a feature that Apple introduced in iOS 9.3[1]. Night Shift shifts your display to the warmer end of the color spectrum. The purpose of this is to stop blue light, which affects your sleep patterns.[2] Because blue light is reduced, you can use a device right until you sleep and still have a good night's sleep!
