All you have to do is invert the colours on the screen. To do this, look for the Accessibility section in your phone’s settings. On the iPhone, set the triple-click setting to “Invert Colours”. On Android, select “Inverted Rendering”.

Then you’ll be able to text or email in the dark without drawing everyone else’s attention. You might want to do this at night anyway to save your own eyeballs.
