HOW TO USE THE BLUE LIGHT FILTER ON SAMSUNG GALAXY

Most Samsung Galaxy phones have a blue light filter option now. The fastest way to turn it on is to pull down your notification shade and swipe down again to access your quick settings. One of them is called Blue light filter and you can tap to toggle it on and off. You can also do it through Settings:

Settings > Display > Blue light filter

You can adjust the opacity with a slider and you can also select Turn on as scheduled and then pick Sunset to sunrise or Custom schedule if you want to specify your own preferred hours.

HOW TO FILTER BLUE LIGHT ON OTHER ANDROID PHONES

You’ll generally find a quick setting option in your notification shade and scheduling options in Settings > Display.

LG calls it Comfort View, HTC and OnePlus call it Night Mode, Huawei calls it Eye Care, Motorola calls it Night Display, and Xiaomi calls it Reading mode.

If your Android phone comes without a blue light filter, you can always try a third-party app like Twilight on the Play Store.
