You know how when you first start to hold down on the side of the screen, and a little peek comes up of the multitasking cards? In 9.3, there's a little bit of haptic feedback right there, and then when you open multitasking all the way there's an even deeper feedback. It's a pretty nice touch.

Ok, thank you! It was just a little confusing.

It's a nice idea. I'm going to consider some of things that would have to be thought through though:

It'd be easy for iOS/Apple to detect when you're viewing media in their apps like Photos and Videos, but what about when viewing media in third party apps and websites? I'm not sure if there are APIs for apps to declare 'I'm viewing media right now' so they'd either have to implement that and make apps use it, or have this only work for their stock apps, but then you're excluding those who use third party apps for media.

Another alternative would be to have a list of all installed apps from which some can be selected to be excluded from Night Shift. f.lux has this feature on OS X. It's still not perfect as you may only want certain features within an app (e.g. its media playback) to be excluded but not everything else.

So there are a couple of options here which would enhance the feature but I don't think there is a perfect solution, and I can see people who are really fussy about colour accuracy still going in and out of settings to disable/enable regardless of options available, because of the limitations above (and their fussiness!)

I reckon the vast majority of people who use Night Shift will not care too much about the colour accuracy when editing photos and watching videos. We mentally compensate for it and most people's editing is not dependent on perfect accuracy.

A CC toggle would be great.

Agree that it's not ideal but I dont think by app or something is the right way either. You have far too many 3rd party apps and then websites with media to just have a whitelist.

Just a quick way to turn it on and off would work fine, like i CC as you suggest.

Using CC for this is a good idea. I don't care about watching movies with it on, but definitely a problem for photo editing.

Has anyone else seen this? I'll be playing a music file (MP3), and it will do this after twenty minutes or so.

I do not have restrictions on at all.

One big thing that I think should be added:
When you open the camera blue light reduction should be off.
Any app that calls the camera up for use toggles it to off when it uses it(FB, Instagram, snapchat, etc)
Whitelisting all those apps would be too much of a pain.

I'm joining the conversation a little late but couldn't see it mentioned on the front page, has anyone else had an issue with blue light reduction? On my iPad I get the option from sunset to sunrise but this option is missing on my iPhone?

It has been mentioned a couple times throughout the thread I believe. Going off memory so it might be wrong. But you need to make sure Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Setting Time Zone is on.

Turn on location services for time zones and the option in Night Shift for sunset/sunrise will appear.
