Research has been done on whether this feature is worth using. The thought of blue light from our screen causes eyestrain. It keeps us awake at night by causing brain stimulation and reduces melatonin. As a result, Samsung, Apple, and many others have filters to eliminate any blue light.

So, without further delay, below are the simple instructions to activate the blue light filter and even set an automatic on/off schedule based on your sleep habits.

At this point, almost all users who own a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge should be on Android 7.0 Nougat. It was released in February and more is getting it as March continues. So, if you haven’t already, you will have to wait for the update before enjoying this feature.

For those using Android Nougat, here are quick and simple instructions to enable or disable the blue light filter. As well as creating a schedule so that you do not have to deal with settings in the morning and evening every day.

Once done, you will instantly notice a dramatic change on your screen. Everything will have a hue from orange to red and there will be no more blue light. Moving the opaque slider to the right will further reduce the blue lights and turn the screen too red.
