Apple has launched StandBy mode in iOS 17 specifically for NightStand or Worktable use. In this mode, you can display several new widgets on your lock screen, such as reminders, clocks, multiple timers, calendars, and weather information. It works when your iPhone is in idle condition and charging in a horizontal position on a charging dock.
There is a new option available in this mode called Night Mode, which helps reduce eye strain at night. It allows you to check notifications and pre-defined widgets on your iPhone screen while ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to enable Night Mode in StandBy and guide you on how to use it on your iPhone.
What is Night Mode in StandBy
Night Mode is a new feature in iOS 17 that automatically turns your iPhone’s StandBy mode display with a red tint in low-lighting conditions. This helps to reduce the amount of blue light emitted from your iPhone, which can interfere with your sleep.
How to enable Night Mode in StandBy
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap on the StandBy option.
Look for Night Mode and tap on it.
Enable the Night Mode toggle button to activate the Red tint in StandBy mode.
How to use Night Mode in StandBy
Once you enable Night Mode in StandBy, your iPhone lock screen will turn Red. Red is less likely to disturb your sleep. To wake your iPhone from StandBy mode, just tap the screen or use the side button.

Motion To Wake feature in Night Mode
Motion To Wake is a useful feature on iPhones that automatically wakes the screen when motion is detected during the night.

This allows you to easily check notifications or access StandBy Widgets without manually turning on the screen. To enable Motion To Wake on your iPhone, follow the simple steps below:
