How to Install f.lux on Any iOS 10 Device

Before we had tweaks such as Eclipse 4 or Apple Night Shift mode we used f.lux.  This was another way to change the brightness of your device based on time of day and the current location of the user.  The tweak or app based the brightness of the device based on where you are located ad time of day.  It has features which users can change ti threat preferences and setup the specific display color or brightness.  We are going to walk through step by step how to install the f.lux spoon iOS 10 without a jailbreak or with a jailbreak.   It doesn’t really matter.  At the time of this post writing, f.lux was not updated for iOS 10 yet.

F.Lux makes your iOS devices display brightness appropriate for the current time of day.  It’s really a helpful app to prevent glare blindness or have your screen glare a huge bright white light during church or other gatherings you wouldn’t want others to know you are watching the clock for besides you.  F.Lux is available for Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Mac so as you can see its a very popular FREE app that can be used across almost any platform and device.
