And then Samsung released the Android Pie beta for the Galaxy Note 8 today, catching us off baby-sit (well, non completely, but it'south still a pleasant surprise) while everyone was fixated on the Pie release for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note ix. And the kickoff thing nosotros did subsequently installing the beta on our Galaxy Note 8 was check whether the Night mode feature has a schedule option. And it is, fifty-fifty though the choice is missing from the final updates for the S9 and Annotation 9.

While this doesn't necessarily mean the option will exist present on the last Pie releases for the Milky way Note 8 (or the Galaxy S8), we are inclined to believe it volition be. Samsung has the schedule functionality mentioned in the Pie user manuals for the Galaxy S9, so chances are that the company just forgot to include it in the actual software because it wanted to get the update out there every bit rapidly as possible. We still could be wrong, though, and Samsung might amend the user transmission to remove all mention of the Night way schedule setting at a afterward time. The same goes for video recording in Pro mode, which is missing on the Note viii beta as well.

In whatever instance, Note 8 owners who join the beta programme can accept benefit of the Night mode schedule feature. To customize the schedule settings, open the Settings app, tapDisplay,then tapNight mode.Here, enable theTurn on as scheduledoption, then selectDusk to sunriseto make Night mode turn on and off when it gets dark and in the forenoon respectively. If y'all want to specify a transmission commencement and terminate time for Nighttime mode, select theCustom schedule selection instead.
