Xiaomi: Turn On or Off Reading Mode

If your Xiaomi phone throws a cold, blue-tinted glow at night, reading on it can feel harsh and even keep you awake longer. Reading mode warms up the display colors to ease eye strain, but a lot of people never find the toggle or the scheduling option. Without it set up correctly, the warmer tone never kicks in on its own when you need it.

Turn On or Off Reading Mode auf Xiaomi

Reading mode reduces blue light and shifts your Xiaomi display toward warmer, paper-like tones. It's meant to reduce eye strain during long reading sessions or when using your phone in low light.

You control it from Tap on SettingsTap on DisplayTap on Reading modeEnable or disable Reading mode. From the same screen you also choose between Choose Classic or Paper, which changes how strongly the warm filter is applied.

When to use it

Turn it on if bright, cool-toned screens bother your eyes at night or during extended reading. If you already rely on a scheduled Dark mode for the same purpose, you don't necessarily need both running at once, since they can overlap.

Side effects to know

Reading mode shifts colors across the whole system, not just in reading or ebook apps. Photos and videos will also appear warmer while it's active, which can be confusing if you're editing images or checking color accuracy.

You can also link Reading mode to Night mode so it switches on automatically once the sun sets, instead of turning it on manually every evening.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Inside Tap on Reading mode you can set a schedule so the warm filter activates at a fixed time each day instead of switching it on manually.
