Since the last update my phone automatically turned on the eye comfort shield at 10 pm, even though the option itself in the settings isn't toggled, and when I do toggle it, it doesn't change. 

these updates annoy me so much like don't fix it if it ain't broke smh now the emojis just look uglier

hey yeah I actually did find a solution, I downloaded the Smart Launcher app on the Play Store, it'll ask you some questions and for permissions I think but I denied most of them and it was fine, but once it takes you to that apps' version of your homescreen, tap on the "Smart Search" button and look up "night light"--you'll see a result pop up with the settings app icon next to it. click on that, and it will take you to the night light setting where it says "Use Night Light", toggle that so it is turned off. and what I did for extra measure is pressed on the "Schedule" option and pressed "None" so that it never turns on because sometimes it will have an automatic routine. hope this helps sorry im bad at explaining steps lol

I might have tried this had I not seen the exact thing on another post I red with a different app suggestion. Sounds like trap.

i mean i thought it was too honestly and I get it, downloading extra apps to solve problems sounds sketchy asf but that's just how i fixed the issue, i could show you the google results i got this off of if that will ease your suspicion??

matter of fact I did see another post with a different app but the app that showed up for me in the Play Store was called "Smart Launcher"

Worked for me. Downloaded smart launcher, denied everything, then it wants you to pay for it, hit the back button, minimized it, went to search, night light, hit go, then the toggle switch came up, I toggled it off
