How to remove the night mode on the phone Xiaomi: all the ways

Night mode on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature that reduces the strain on the eyes in the dark by adding a warm hue to the screen. However, sometimes it works inappropriately: in the daytime in a room with poor lighting, while watching videos or when working with color-sensitive applications. If you are faced with the screen suddenly turned yellow and the colors became unnatural, do not panic. 90% of the time, the problem is solved in 1-2 minutes through standard MIUI settings.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off night mode on Xiaomi, Redmi and other phones. POCO — From basic to hidden, we will focus on the nuances of different versions of the firmware (from the base to the hidden). MIUI 12 to MIUI 15) and models with AMOLED-screens where settings may differ, and if you don't know what version you have, you can check it in Settings. → The phone. → Version. MIUI.

Before you start settings, make sure that the problem is in the night mode, and not in another screen filter. For example, some Xiaomi models have a separate feature called “Vision Protection” (in Settings → Screen), which works independently. Also check if the read mode is enabled in applications like Chrome or WPS Office – they can impose their own filters.

1. Quick shutdown via notification panel

The easiest way to turn off night mode is to use the control center (notification curtain).This method works on all Xiaomi models, regardless of the version of MIUI, and takes literally 2 seconds:

1. Swipe your finger down the screen to open the notification bar.
2. If the panel is not fully opened, swipe down again for a full display.
3. Find the "Night Mode" button, which can be on the second page of the panels, and flip to the right.
4. Tap the button once to deactivate the mode. The icon must go out.

If the button is not in the curtain, it can be added manually:

• 🔧 Click on the Edit icon (pencil) in the upper right corner of the notification panel.
• 📱 Find the "Night Mode" list and drag it to the active area.
• 💾 Click "Ready" to save the changes.

⚠️ Note: On some models (e.g, POCO F5 Or the Redmi Note 12 Pro.+) The night button can be called a blue light filter or an Eye Comfort.

If you turn off the curtain and the mode activates again on its own, you have an automatic schedule on, and that's what we're going to talk about in the next section.

2. Disabling the automatic schedule

Night mode on Xiaomi can be automatically turned on in two scenarios:

1. By time - for example, from 22:00 to 7:00.
2. At sunset/dawn, based on geolocation data.

To disable automatic activation:

1. Go to Settings. → Screen.
2. Select "Night Mode" (or "Blue Light Filter").
3. At the top of the screen, find the Schedule switch and turn it off.
4. If necessary, set manual control by selecting “No” in the “Automatic” section.

On some firmware (e.g. MIUI 14 for the global version), the path may be slightly different:

Settings → Display → Color and style → Night mode

⚠️ Note: If after turning off the schedule night mode is still turned on, check the settings "Sleep Mode" in Settings → Battery → Sleep mode. In some firmware, it can force the blue light filter to activate.

3. Complete shutdown via developer settings

If standard methods don’t work (for example, on custom firmware or after an update), you can turn off night mode via developer mode, which is suitable for advanced users, since it requires changing system parameters.

First, activate the developer mode:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Find the MIUI version and click on it 7 times in a row, and the notification will appear: "You became a developer!".
3. Return to the main settings menu and open a new section for developers (usually at the bottom of the list).

Now turn off the night mode:

1. In the "For developers" section, find "Disable the blue light filter" (or "Night Display" in English firmware).
2. Activate the switch. Once the phone is restarted, the night mode will be completely deactivated.

Some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra) may require an additional step:

Settings → For developers → Hardware acceleration of visualization → Disable the “Blue Light Filter”

4. Reset screen settings to factory

If the night mode is not behaving properly (it spontaneously turns on, does not respond to changes in settings), there may have been a failure in the configuration files of the system, in which case the reset of the screen settings will help - it will return all the display parameters to factory values without affecting personal data.

Instructions:

1. Open the Settings → Screen.
2. Scroll down and select “Reset Screen Settings” (or “Reset Default Settings”).
3. Confirm the action by pressing "Reset".

After discharge:

• 🔄 Night mode will be offline.
• 📱 Standard brightness, color temperature and resolutions will return.
• 🔧 You will have to reconfigure Adaptive Brightness and Color Profile (if you used it).

⚠️ Attention: On models with AMOLED-screens (Xiaomi) 12T Pro, Redmi K60 Pro) reset can return factory color calibration, which will affect the display of colors in games and videos. If you use a custom profile (for example, "Saturated" or "Cinema"), write down the current settings before resetting.

Remember current brightness |Photograph color profile settings |Disable adaptive brightness (if enabled)|Put a look at your apps reading mode-->

5. Disconnect via ADB (for advanced users)

If the software methods don’t work, you can turn off the night mode via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which is suitable for users who are familiar with the command line and are ready for possible risks. On some MIUI 14+ firmware, this method can result in resetting all screen settings, so use it only if other options have not helped.

Steps:

1. Install ADB on your computer (you can download from the official website of Android Developers).
2. Turn on "Debugging by" USB" on the phone: Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI (7 times) → For developers → Debugging by USB
3. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command: adb shell settings put secure night_display_activated 0
4. To disable the automatic schedule, use: adb shell settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0
5. Reboot the phone.

If you need to return the settings, use:

adb shell settings put secure night_display_activated 1


adb shell settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 1

💡

Before using ADB, back up your settings through Settings → Additional → Backup and Reset.This will help you quickly recover data if something goes wrong.

6. Verification of third-party applications

Sometimes night mode is turned on by third-party apps rather than the system.

• 📱 Launchers (for example, Nova Launcher, POCO Launcher – they can apply their own filters.
• 👁️ Apps for protection of vision (Twilight, Blue Light Filter).
• 📖 Readers and browsers (Google Chrome, Moon)+ Reader – They have built-in night modes.
• 🎮 Gaming Utilities (Game Turbo on Xiaomi can automatically turn on the filter during games).

To check:

1. Open the "Recent Apps" (the button box in the navigation bar).
2. Close all applications except the standard ones (Settings, Phone).
3. Check if there's still night mode, and if there's no, it's one of the closed apps.
4. Turn to the app to identify the culprit.

For example, in Google Chrome night mode is turned off as follows:

1. Open the browser and press "⋮" (three-point) → Settings.
2. Select "Dark Mode" (or "Dark Theme").
3. Set the value "Disabled" or "Like in the system".

7. Hardware problems: when the night mode does not turn off

If you've tried all of these, but the screen is still yellow, the problem could be hardware.

In the models with AMOLED-screens (Xiaomi 13 Pro, Redmi) K50 Ultra) yellowness can occur due to subpixel burnout. Check it out like this:

1. Open a white image (for example, through Google Photos).
2. Look at the screen from an angle – if the yellowness persists, it’s a hardware problem.

⚠️ Warning: If the phone has fallen or been exposed to moisture, the yellow tint may be due to damage to the matrix, in which case self-repair is not possible - a replacement screen is required.

💡

If the night mode does not turn off after all the manipulations, first check the phone for viruses (for example, through Malwarebytes), and then reset to factory settings.
