When you use your smartphone at night or in a dark environment, the blue light of the screen affects your eyes very much and of course in a bad way. These days smartphones come with a dark mode that can reduce blue light exposure to some extent. However, sometimes this mode also doesn’t work when you are reading something at night, and that’s where a new “Eye Comfort” mode comes into action.
This mode is available on most of the recent smartphones but with different names such as “Night Light”. Some phones might still doesn’t have this feature yet, however, you can still enable eye comfort mode on any Android phone.
