Hello friends! Nowadays we are facing a very common problem known as eyestrain. It occurs when we spend long hours watching TV, using the computer and when we use our phone. Manufacturers are aware of this, which is why we are seeing more and more of them implementing Dark Mode on their phones. But sometimes it is not enough. In the case of Xiaomi also implemented the Reading Mode trying to remedy this situation. This mode is intended to protect your vision and that in the long term does not have a negative impact. Therefore, in this post, we will show you how to activate Reading Mode on your Xiaomi phone.
Activating Reading Mode
This mode will give you the possibility to apply a filter on your phone screen that will protect you when you expose yourself for long hours. It can be while you are on social media or reading a tutorial on a website. If you have ever experienced eyestrain, you are in the right place.
First step
Go to Settings>Display>Reading Mode
Second step
Then enable “Reading Mode”.
Setting the Reading Mode
Once Read Mode is enabled you will notice two options appear on the screen:
- Classic: This option will allow you to switch to warmer Colors to reduce the amount of Blue. It will also allow you to change the color temperature, this is the easiest option. Adjusting the color to more sepia tones will reduce eyestrain.
- Paper: This option will allow you to change the colors to warmer colors and add paper texture to the backgrounds to reduce eyestrain. This option is very similar to “Classic” with the difference that it adds the possibility to add Texture to the backgrounds, this makes it a more complete option. Adding Textures can help when you spend more time reading.
Both options are good, we recommend that you choose the one that best suits your needs.
Schedule Reading Mode
A good idea is to schedule the Reading Mode to activate at a certain time, for example, you could schedule it to activate at night.
First step
Go to Settings>Display>Reading Mode
Second step
Then click on the “Schedule” button. Finally, enter a time for it to “Turn on” and a time for it to “Turn off”.
How to access Reading Mode faster
With the arrival of MIUI 12, it introduced the Control Center. A revamped Status Bar, which includes a set of quick settings and toggles. To activate Reading Mode faster you will need to add the toggle to the Control Center. This way you can activate it whenever you want without having to go to your phone’s settings.
First step
From your phone’s home screen swipe down to bring up the Control Center.
Second step
Then press the “edit” button and add the Reading Mode toggle. Finally, press the “Done” button. And that’s it, now you can activate Read Mode faster.
Conclusion
Eyestrain is a problem that is becoming more and more present, we spend practically the whole day exposed. It is best to be cautious because, in the long run, it can be harmful to our vision. We recommend using the Dark Mode and Reading Mode to combat eyestrain effectively. Thank you for reading. Bye!
