Night shift alternative for older ipads

I also have a ios 9.3.5 ipad and tottaly surprised there is NO blue light filter for my device in appstore. Because on android, there are too many, in any versions. An apple product again? NO!
Some users suggests Screen Protector, and an another user does simply not know the difference between screen brightness and screen color filtering... Like a joke..

Please go and buy yourself an android device, so you can understand.

Sincerely...

Having read all the replies, there appears to be no solution via Apple. However, here's a suggestion if you wear specs - get lenses with a blue light filter - cheaper than a new iPad at least, and works for ALL computer, tablet & phone screens. Works for me - I use my iPad every night to read before I sleep!

Why exactly can't you use your iPhone 5 any longer?

Just turn down your screen brightness at night.

I use my iPod Touches and my older iPads at less than 50% screen brightness.

I can still use my older iDevices at night and the reduced screen brightness is less strain on my eyes and extends my iDevices' battery life.

I was just onto this blue light issue, and was surprised that Win10 already has the feature built in. The f.lux is certain better, but at least Microsoft put enough effort there. As many mentioned there is no problem to find one for Android. When I tried to do the same thing for the iPad for the young kids, I was so amazed iPad is so far behind the curve on this. Time to catch up! (And please don't tell me to buy a new one.)

Buy a more up to date iPad model.

1st gen iPad Air or later, 2nd gen iPad Mini or later and 1st gen iPad Pro or later all support Night Shift mode.

Also, 2017 iPad 5.

I didn’t say new.

Whoops, I just did.

thanks, I was just looking for a solution for my ipad 2,

at first I got a mini zoom window, then I went into the zoom setting again, select "full window" now my whole screen js darkened further,

though the level for darkness cannot be changed, but it's better than nothing,

thanks

1. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom
2. Turn on Zoom
3. Using three fingers, quickly tap three times anywhere on the iPhone or iPad’s screen.
4. Tap on Choose Filter
5. Select Low Light

This doesn't seem to work like i thought.

I Tried this - the low light setting is very dark, and of course it only darkens the window. Also, I just checked the App Store and f.lux is not available for iPhone or iPad. There are NO low-light/yellow light filter apps available, except for sketchy browser only ones that I don't trust. Apple has cornered the market on this function and I guess those of us with older iPads are SOL if we want to work at night without jeopardizing our sleep. I have an alarm set to turn off my screens at 10 pm but do I always do that? Ha ha...

The only solution seems to be to lower the screen brightness manually, which of course doesn't eliminate the blue light. Or get a newer device, which is what they really want us to do. Does anyone sell a physical yellow screen filter that snaps on to an iPad screen for night use?

Here is one

It's hurting I can't use iphone 5 anymore

Buy a an iPad that supports Night mode if you need this feature so bad.

There's yer answer!

Thanks for playing!

Really!...
