Low power and night shift mode on iOS 9 are some great ways to save battery. You can turn on the night shift mode to save the iPhone resources. In night shift mode, the iPhone depletes the blue lights to better protect the eyes and sleep cycles of the user. Low power mode, as the name suggests, is used to save battery. Users were happy to use both these modes together to save the battery remarkably. You could turn on the low power mode and night shift mode to add hours to the remaining battery time. But a latest update by Apple took away this facility. A ridiculous update, iOS 9.3.1, removed the ability to turn on the night shift and power saver mode in iPhone. But a workaround has been figured out which will allow you to use the feature again.
