iOS 9.3 night shift doesn't work in low power mode

Night Shift is said to use more power so it's disabled in low power mode. Unfortunately, most users will find themselves wanting to switch to low power mode at night when Night Shift is going to be beneficial. I would suggest sending feedback to Apple.

I don't quite see why Low Power Mode would be more beneficial at night. It is explicitly designed to slow battery drain when the battery is running low to conserve until the device can be plugged in to charge. It makes sense that it would overide Night Mode.

I meant that Night Mode is more beneficial at night and people will find themselves starting to run out of battery towards the end of the day when they will want to switch to Low Power Mode.

Not sure I would make that assumption, but it is really not the issue. NightMode uses more power (understandably), so it makes sense that it would override Night Mode. It is, after all, exactly what it does - restrict feature use to conserve power.

Completely agree with you. I think we're saying the same thing different ways. If people are running out of battery and want to be in Low Power Mode they won't be able to use Night Shift.

How about restrict use so that you don't need night shift?

I don't get all of the excitement over night shift. I have said this several times in other discussions. How about PUTTING THE DAMM PHONE DOWN an hour or so before you go to bed. Find another way to chill out. If you are reading on your phone or playing a game until you go to sleep....???

I realize that I am in the minority here, but IMHO, another first world problem.

I have my devices set to switch to Night Shift when the sun goes down, long before I go to bed.

For the phone, "frankly Scarlet, I don't give a ****". I rarely use it at night for anything other than answering a call or a text. For the iPad, since that is how I read books primarily I would use it if I could (3rd gen iPad, so no joy, but hopefully that will change in the next couple of months 😝). But yeah, basically I agree, first world problem. If using a device is causing sleeplessness, put it down an hour before going to sleep. And if choosing between the two features, Low Power Mode is definitely the most useful.

IIt's such a useless feature, can't believe it's some highlight. They must be running out of ideas. how about perfecting iOS rather than adding stuff that adds no value just because something new needs to be added in every release.

Don't get me wrong low power mode has saved me quite a few times and still does. I like the idea of night shift, personally I have problems getting to sleep anyway but I wouldn't say I'm glued to my phone either before I go to bed. I'm just saying it would be good if both features could work together espesially in the evening to get best of both worlds so to speak.

And my point is, they can't. The two are at odds. As previously suggested, send feedback to Apple, but I have my doubts that you can be accommodated.

You are my perfect role model and I strive daily to be more like you! But in all fairness, I have been a curmudgeon for quite some time now. 😉 😁

And perhaps we should both be very concerned 😁😁😁
