Google is rolling out a new Night Light feature for the Google Play Books app that will hep you read more comfortably during night time without straining your eyes. “Looking at reading time across the world, we see that activity peaks between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm local time. But we also know looking at a bright screen before bed can be hard on your eyes,” said Google on the official Android blog.
The new Night Light option will gradually filter blue light from the screen, replacing it with a warm, amber light as the sun sets. “It automatically adapts to the amount of natural sunlight outside based on the time of day, giving you just the right temperature and brightness,” said Google. To activate Night Light, open a book and turn on the Night Light mode option (you’ll see a pop up in the app).
The new Night Light feature for Google Books is gradually rolling out on Android, iPhone and iPad through the respective app stores. Android users can also download the APK from here and side-load it manually to get the new feature.
