How to completely disable the night mode on Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro: a step-by-step guide

Night mode on Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is a useful feature for protecting vision, but not all users like its automatic turn on. Yellow screen shade can distort the colors in games, photos or videos, and incorrect schedule settings to turn on mode at the most inopportune time. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off night mode, including hidden MIUI options and solutions for cases when the function is not turned off through the standard menu.

If you're faced with night mode spontaneously activating despite all the manipulations, the problem may be in system timing or conflict with apps like Google Wellbeing.

Before you get to the instructions, make sure your Mi 10 Pro runs on the current MIUI version (MIUI 12.5+ or MIUI 13/14). On older firmware, the path to settings may be different and some options may not be available. Also check if there are third-party blue light filtering apps (such as Twilight or Night Shift) that can duplicate the feature.

1. Disable night mode through the notification panel

The fastest way to deactivate night mode is to use the Quick Settings Panel, which works even if the screen is locked (when unlocked by fingerprint or face).

Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification bar. Find the Night Mode icon (usually a crescent star moon or "Eye Comfort"). Tap it once, the mode will shut down instantly. If the icon is not in the main panel, swipe left to reveal additional options.

⚠️ Note: On some versions MIUI After manually switching off, the mode can be turned on again in 10-15 minutes, which is due to the automatic schedule, which we will discuss in the next section.

  • βœ… Pros: Quickly, does not require switching to settings.
  • ❌ Cons: Does not cancel automatic on time.

  2. Select "Night mode" (or "Eye Comfort" in English firmware).
  3. Move the slider to the "off" position.
  4. Turn off the option "Automatically on schedule" (if it is active).

The screen will also have a Color Temperature slider β€” move it to the left to return the screen’s natural colors. If the Automatically Scheduled option is inactive but the mode is still on itself, check the Google Digital Wellbeing settings (Settings β†’ Google β†’ Digital Wellbeing).

  2. Select "Settings Reset."
  3. Slip "Reset Screen Settings" (not to be confused with a full reset!).
  4. Confirm the action and restart the device.

This procedure will return all display parameters, including brightness, color temperature and night schedule, to factory values. After reset, check if automatic settings in Google services (for example, in Digital Well-being) have been activated.

If the problem persists, the cause may be a conflict with the MIUI shell, in which case flashing through the Fastboot or resetting to factory settings will help (but this is an extreme measure).

5. Problems with automatic switching on: how to fix

  • πŸ“± Google Services Conflict: Digital Wellbeing's "Night Light" feature may duplicate night mode.
  • πŸ”„ Update MIUI: After major updates (for example, with the MIUI 12 on MIUI 13) settings may be reset. Check them after the update.
  • πŸ› οΈ Third-party apps: Software like f.lux or Blue Light Filter can interfere with screen performance.

If the problem persists, try creating a new schedule with impossible parameters:

  1. Set the turn on time at 00:00, and turn off time at 00:01.
  2. Save the settings and restart the phone.

After that, the system will forget about the previous triggers.

Alternative launchers (such as Nova Launcher or Lawnchair) are also available for the Mi 10 Pro, which allow you to fine-tune the display of icons and backgrounds without interfering with system settings.

7. Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them

Back up your settings through Settings β†’ System & Device β†’ Backup before experimenting with ADB or reset.

❓ Night mode's off, but the screen's still yellow?
It's likely that the color filter (for color blind) or Adaptive color temperature function has been activated. Check: Settings β†’ Special features β†’ Color filter (turn off if it's on). Settings β†’ Display β†’ Color temperature β†’ Adaptive (turn off the slider). If the problem persists, try resetting the screen settings (section 3 of the article).
❓ Can I turn off night mode only for individual applications?
There is no such feature on the Mi 10 Pro, but there are workarounds: Use the built-in app settings (for example, you can turn off a dark theme in YouTube or Chrome); Install Tasker or MacroDroid to automatically disable mode when you open certain programs (configuration is required); on MIUI 14, an experimental feature called "Night Mode Exceptions" appeared, but it does not work smoothly.
❓ After updating MIUI The night mode turned on itself?
This is a typical problem after major updates. Try: Open Settings β†’ Display β†’ Night Mode and manually move the slider to the left. Turn off Automatically Scheduled and restart the phone. If it doesn't work, reset the screen settings (section 3). Xiaomi forums also advise clearing the Settings app cache (Settings β†’ Apps β†’ Settings Management β†’ Settings β†’ Clear cache).
❓ Is there a difference between Night Mode and Eye Comfort"?
No, it's the same. The name may vary from MIUI to region: Night Mode is Russian firmware; Eye Comfort is global or European firmware; Reading Mode is Chinese firmware (reading mode, but with similar settings); functionally, they are identical, reducing the amount of blue light by shifting the color temperature.
❓ Can you set up night mode by geolocation (for example, only at home)?
The standard MIUI settings do not support geolocation binding, but there are workarounds: Use Tasker or Automate to create automatic rules with GPS in mind. Set IFTTT and create an applet that will turn on/off mode when connected to home Wi-Fi. This will require ADB or root access, as the standard MIUI API does not provide such capabilities.
