It's a mystery. Night mode is not available in Portrait Mode on the iPhone 17 Pro, and no one seems to know why. Yet.

Night mode brightens photos automatically and captures more details, even in low lighting. You can adjust the exposure time manually. In Portrait mode, the camera puts a sharp focus on the subject you are snapping and blurs the background, in a depth-of-field effect.
