Night Shift will use the iOS device’s clock and geolocation to determine when the sun sets in a user’s location, and will shift the colors in the device’s display, making the screen “warmer” and easier on the eyes at night.

Apple’s iOS 9.3 beta includes a feature for Notes that enables a user to lock notes created in the app using a passcode or Touch ID. Apple says the “Night Shift” mode changes the screen from blue light to a warmer setting.
