Night mode unavailable in Portrait mode on iPhone 17 Pro

iPhone 17 Pro models, it turns out, can’t take photos in Night mode when Portrait mode is selected in the Camera app – a capability that’s been available on Apple’s Pro devices since the iPhone 12 Pro in 2020.

How to verify

If you’re an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max owner, try it for yourself:

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Select Portrait mode.
3. Attempt to enable Night mode (the Night‑mode icon should be unavailable).

This simple test confirms that Night mode is disabled while using Portrait mode on the latest Pro models.
