A new version of iOS is out -- 9.3.2 -- and it fixes a small but annoying issue: You can now finally use Night Shift and Low Power Mode simultaneously.

Introduced in 9.3, Night Shift makes the screen easier on your eyes by adjusting brightness and colors depending on the time of day. Low Power Mode is a feature that lets you disable some of your phone's features to save battery life. Macrumors noticed that the two now work together. 

Other improvements in iOS 9.3.2 include a fix for Bluetooth audio accessories sometimes not playing nice with the iPhone SE and a few other minor issues.
