How to completely disable the night mode on Xiaomi: all ways

Night mode on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature for protecting vision, but sometimes it works too aggressively. The screen’s yellowish tint, automatic color temperature changes, or sudden switching on of the blue light filter can be annoying, especially if you are used to natural colors. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off night mode on devices with MIUI firmware (including Redmi and POCO), from standard settings to hidden settings and even commands through ADB.

Complicating the problem, different versions of MIUI (12, 13, 14) and different models (Xiaomi 13 Pro, Redmi Note 12, POCO F5) can take different paths to settings, and the manufacturer sometimes hides options deep in the menu or links them to energy saving modes, and we tested all the methods on current devices and collected them in one guide, from the simplest to the most radical.

1. Standard disconnection through "Settings"

The most obvious way is to use the built-in options, which is usually enough if the night mode is manually or on schedule.

1. Open “Settings” (the gear icon on the home screen or in the application menu).
2. Go to the Screen section (on some models – Additional → Screen).
3. Find Night Mode (or Blue Light Filter, Vision Protection).
4. Move the slider to the off position. or uncheck the box from the option Automatically.

If you MIUI 14, the interface might look different: instead of a slider, there's a switch in the upper right corner. POCO-This partition is sometimes called Reading Mode).

• 🔍 If Night Mode is not on the Screen menu, check the Special Opportunities section. → Color correction.
• ⏰ Schedule: Turn off automatic time-on in the night mode settings.
• 🌓 Brightness: Sometimes the mode is activated at low brightness – increase it to 50% or higher.

⚠️ Note: On some models (Xiaomi) 12T, Redmi K50) After you turn off the night mode through the settings, it can turn on again after you restart. MIUI For the battery, see the section on the ADB.

2. Disconnection through the notification panel

A quick way to deactivate night mode is to use a notification curtain, which works if the function is manually or on schedule, but does not help if the mode is activated by system triggers (for example, when the battery is low).

Instructions:

1. Swipe your finger down to open the notification panel.
2. Find the Night Mode icon (usually a crescent or an eye) If it's not there, click three dots (⋮) or edit.
3. Put the button on the icon to turn off the mode. If it's illuminated in blue, the function is active.

On MIUI 13/14, the icon can be hidden behind the button Additional (arrow down).If there is no icon at all, then the mode is controlled only through settings (see the previous section).

3. Resetting screen settings to factory

If the night mode is switched on spontaneously and does not turn off through standard methods, the problem may be in the wrong settings of the screen, in which case a partial reset will help - it will return the display parameters to the factory without affecting personal data.

How to do this:

1. Go to Settings → About the phone → Reset settings.
2. Select Reset Screen Settings (or Reset All Settings, but this is an extreme case).
3. Confirm the action. The phone will reboot.

After reset, check if the night mode is gone. If so, the problem was the setting conflict. If not, move on to the following ways.

⚠️ Attention: POCO F4 and Xiaomi 11 Lite after resetting the screen settings can be confused color calibration. To return natural tones, go to Settings → Screen. → Color mode and select Standard.

4. Disconnection through energy saving modes

On some Xiaomi devices, night mode is tied to battery modes, such as when Super Power Saving or Ultra Savings are activated, the system automatically turns on the blue light filter.

1. Go to Settings → Battery and Performance.
2. Select Battery Modes (or Energy Saving).
3. Turn off all modes except Balanced.
4. Check to see if the night mode is gone.

If the problem persists, try disabling battery optimization for system applications:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Press three points (⋮) and select Show Systems.
3. Find Settings (com.android.settings) and turn off Battery Optimization for it.

Make sure the battery is charged > 20%|Turn off all energy saving modes|Check the night mode settings again|Reboot the phone.-->

5.Use of ADB-Teams (for experienced users)

If the night mode is not turned off by any of the above methods, the radical method remains to disconnect via ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which requires connecting the phone to the computer and executing commands in the terminal, the only way that is guaranteed to turn off the night mode at the system level, including forced activation through MIUI optimization.

What you need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB-Drivers (you can download from the Android Developers website).
• 📱 Included Debugging by USB on the phone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI — Press 7 times, then return to Additional → For developers).
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect the phone to your computer and select File Transfer mode.
2. Open the command line (Win) + R → cmd) or terminal (Mac/Linux).
3. Enter the commands in turn: adb devices (should appear serial number of your device) adb shell settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0 adb shell settings put secure night_display_available 0 adb shell settings put secure night_display_activated 0
4. Reboot the phone.

After that, the night mode will be completely turned off, including automatic activation, and to return it back, replace it with 0 by 1 commands.

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 14 after team system updates ADB If night mode comes back, repeat the procedure or use the task in the Automate/Tasker for automatic execution of commands during loading.

6. Alternative methods: applications and hidden menus

If you don’t want to use ADB, but standard methods don’t help, try:

• 📱 Night Light Controller (requires root): Allows you to flexibly manage night mode, including forced shutdown.
• 🔧 Hidden Menu of Engineering Settings: Enter ##6484## (on some models ##36446337###), then search for Display and disable Night Mode.

For root-right users, the most reliable way to remove the system app that controls night mode is usually called com.miui.weather2 (yes, this weather app also controls a blue light filter) or com.android.server.nightdisplay, which can be removed via Root Explorer or ADB with superuser rights.

💡

If night mode is only enabled in certain apps (like Chrome or Kindle), check the settings of these programs. Some of them have a built-in blue light filter that works independently of the system.
