Assuming you have an iPhone 14 running iOS 14 or later, here’s how to use Night Shift:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll down and tap Display & Brightness.
Tap Night Shift.
If you want to, you can schedule Night Shift to turn on automatically at sunset and turn off at sunrise. By default, Night Shift uses the location of your device to determine when sunset and sunrise are. If you want, you can tap From and then tap Sunset to Sunrise to turn on Night Shift from sunset to sunrise.
You can also manually turn on and off Night Shift by tapping the button to the right of Scheduled.
The Color Temperature slider lets you adjust the color of the display. The colder (bluer) the display, the easier it will be on your eyes. The warmer (yellower) the display, the easier it will be to read text.
The tint color is the color that will be used to tint the display when Night Shift is on. You can choose from a variety of different colors, or you can tap Color Temperature to have the display automatically adjust the tint color based on the color temperature.
If you want, you can have Night Shift turn on automatically when the battery level of your device drops below a certain level. To do this, tap Low Battery Saver and then choose a battery level.
If you have an iPhone with an OLED display, such as the iPhone X, XS, or XS Max, you can turn on Dark Mode. Dark Mode inverts the colors of the display, making it easier on your eyes. To turn on Dark Mode, tap Dark Mode and then tap the button to the right of Dark Mode.
You can also turn on Dark Mode by swiping down from the top-right corner of the display to open Control Center and tapping the Dark Mode button.
Assuming you have an iPhone 14:

When Night Shift is on, the color of your display will change to the warmer colors you’ve selected.

Open Control Center.
Tap the Night Shift icon.

If you want to customize your Night Shift settings, tap Options.
On the Options screen, you can set the color temperature of your display, as well as the schedule.
To set the color temperature, use the slider. The further you slide the slider to the left, the warmer the colors will be. The further you slide it to the right, the cooler the colors will be.
To set the schedule, tap Custom Schedule.
On the Custom Schedule screen, you can set Night Shift to turn on and off at specific times.
To do this, tap the From and To fields.
Then, use the pickers to set the times.
