Instagram has introduced a Night Mode camera feature for Android users based on Android’s Camera Extensions API. This new mode is expected to enhance low-light photography for Instagram while allowing Instagram users to capture nighttime shots directly within the app. As per reports, the new mode is initially rolling out on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones.

Some key features include:

  • Bokeh: Sharpens the foreground and blurs the background often used for portraits.
  • Face Retouch: Improves skin texture and tones.

Instagram’s Night Mode uses the Night Camera Extension, offering users a moon icon next to the flash in low-light conditions. Once activated, users are prompted to “Hold Still” for a few seconds while the camera takes multiple shots and merges them for an optimized image.

Google describes this feature as “Night Sight for Instagram,” enabling users to take crisp, true-to-life nighttime photos without needing a flash.

The API will have three states:
