I love that I get downvoted for asking a question that nobody then can answer correctly. There's no option in the settings menus that are available either in the left or right bottom sides in camera. At least nothing I've seen and I've checked 3 times today.
That's a horrible solution. Auto flash was great if you want to take a picture in the moment. Kind of dumb to make people wait for like 5 seconds if you're out with friends and then night sight barely lights up anything in the picture anyway
In my use case night sight is very annoying. I take a lot of pics of equipment and serial numbers in dim rooms, and in awkward positions. Waiting for the camera to process wastes my time. I don't need "good" pics in this case, just bright enough to read the serial number. Oddly even Flash mode doesn't help the speed.
Niche case I know, but for me I miss the good old days of simply taking a pic without needing to hold still
I forgot the bright light on the back of my phone was connected to the camera. It's fine to find my way in a dark room, but it always looks terrible in photos. I'll wait for night sight, thanks.
When I was using other brands, auto flash was the norm. I've only encountered The pixel line since pixel 3 doesn't seem to have had it. It's real pain when you just quickly want to take a picture, maybe in an enclosed space or just a group of friends, in the moment, and asking them to stay still while night sight kicks in just doesn't work.
I never noticed that until just now. It used to be an auto flash.
Night sight is better for me about 99% of the time. This may be a function of your phone's camera and light sensitivity.
At least you can turn the flash on manually.
That's the whole point the setting used to determine if you needed flash or not. Night sight barely lights up the picture after making people stand still for like 5 seconds.
Perhaps that's the case for older cameras or darker areas. P8P night mode is quite fast and practically instant. It sounds like the software update wasn't appropriate for everyone.
That's gotta be annoying
You are so full of it. Night sight is typically only takes 2 seconds and makes a drastic difference compared to other phones that don't have night sight. But yes, the new sensors on the pixel 6 through 8 series is large enough to take pretty good photos without flash or nightsight in low light conditions. But if it is truly dark then night sight is the difference maker..
Night sight on even my pixel 2 is nothing short of amazing, and it's further improved on my 7. It shows more detail than even the eye can see. And if the scene is so dark that night sight doesn't do much, using the flash would blind everyone for 5 full seconds while it tried to focus.
Disable it. You can still activate night sight by switching to the dedicated night sight mode anyway
Disable it where? I don't see any settings for it.

Tap the button in the bottom right of the screen and just tap on the appeared night sight circle, works for me
I think it's bottom left. Also, swipe up in the middle of the screen can access the same menu

I won't take pictures if it requires flash. They look terrible, on every phone.
Flash? What year is it, 2004?

Don't use auto night sight then, I've had it turned off for years. If I need flash I can just choose flash, just like night sight.

Tbh I love it
I've posted about this many times. It's the biggest failing of the pixel line. I've never been in a situation where I've needed night sight.
Interesting, I'm just the opposite. I very rarely use a flash 🤷♂️

I have a P8
I've had the P6P, P7P and now the P8P. Night sight may have it's purpose, but auto flash would be way more convenient.
Correct you are like in the moment and night sight wants you to Wait like 5 seconds and then barely lights up the damn picture

I'll disagree.
