The night mode only debuted on the iPhone 11, in 2019. Since then, iPhones allow you to take really good photos after dark and in rooms where there is a lack of light. The night mode is not a trick, but a very thoughtful mechanism of combining frames that allows you to show objects in the photo that are often invisible in the dark even with the naked eye.

The problem is that Apple doesn't like giving users control. Now, specifically in iOS 15, there will be a bit more of this control, but it will be implemented in the style of Apple.

The iPhone will allow you to permanently disable the night mode. It's no secret that photos in this mode do not always work, because sometimes the algorithm brightens the scene too much. Therefore, a new night mode button will appear in the camera app in iOS 15, thanks to which you will be able to turn off the long exposure mechanism. After tapping the button, night mode will remain off until you turn it on again. The Live Photo button works similarly.

Until now, the iPhone has not remembered our settings. Night mode could be turned off, but only once, so it was enough to turn off the camera application or even rearrange the image to forget our settings.

Would you think this is a good opportunity to go the other way and finally introduce the possibility of enforcing the night mode? Yes, but Apple will not give users such a possibility, because what is too much is not healthy. The iPhone will still decide for itself whether to enable the use of night mode or not. The night mode button will only appear when the iPhone deems it appropriate.

And what does it look like in Android?

The night mode in Android has been known for years and practically all smartphones of top companies work in a very similar way. This is a separate mode available in the application next to items such as filming, photos, portrait, etc. We can always turn on the night mode, just like we can always turn it off.

Such control comes in handy in many situations. Sometimes it's a good idea to turn on night mode before your smartphone turns it on automatically, as this will improve exposure and bring out more detail in shadows. In other cases, photos without the night mode will come out better, i.e. more atmospheric. After all, it is not always about brightening up all the shadows in the photo as much as possible.

For two years, Apple has not been convinced to give full control over the night mode to iPhone users. Dear Tim Cook, do you really think iPhone owners will be overwhelmed by this feature? Millions of Android devices show that the average user has no problem with this.
