So me and my wife are pretty disappointed that there's still no blue light filter on the G4, she does a lot of night reading on it before bed so having the blue filter on Nougat (via night mode enabler by Mike Evans) was a big deal.

I was under the impression that Oreo was the first Android release that "officially" had a blue light filter feature, so I'm pretty confused about why it's not there other then the fact motorola probably doesn't genuinely care enough to add it.

But anyway, does anyone know of a way to enable it simular to Nougat? I can't find anything about it or I'm just missing it. I did see I'm not the only one looking for a way, so hopefully someone has an idea.

IBlue and this is known to work as a workaround https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...4-oreo-soak-test-update-t3871136/post78962708

I'm having the same issue after updating yesterday to 8.1. No nite mode anywhere. So I googled and found what seemed like a reasonable workaround.... add the UI Tuner category to Settings by long pressing the Settings cog in the quick menu. However, I then found that did nothing. No UI Tuner, unlike when I had it on 7.0. The idea was to install the UI Tuner, then download Nite Mode from the Play Store.

So, I downloaded the UI Tuner from the Play Store, only to find it was weird. It didn't place an icon on my homepage or in Apps or the App Drawer. It was supposed to put the UI Tuner category in Settings under System, but it didn't. It did place a sort of icon on my homepage so I pressed it and got the UI Tuner list. However when I tested out a couple functions on it, they didn't seem to do anything. So, another feature Motorola decided to leave off the Moto G4 (I have a G4 Plus), the UI Tuner.

You might try these things and see if they work for you. Unfortunately they were of no help to me. I called Motorola, spoke to a 2nd Level Tech. He knew nothing about it and kept repeating my issue back to me as they like to do. So we scheduled a 3rd level tech to call tomorrow, who will no doubt tell me to factory reset the phone, which of course won't help and would be a lot of work for nothing.

I tried one of the 3rd party filter apps, but didn't like it. Guess I'll try a couple others.
