Steps Covered
Step 1: Turn Off Auto-Brightness
If you’d rather manage the brightness on your own, the first thing to do is disable Auto-Brightness. Here’s how you do it:
1. Go to 'Settings' on your iPhone.
2. Tap 'Accessibility'.
3. Tap 'Display & Text Size'.
4. Scroll down and toggle off 'Auto-Brightness'.
Step 2: Manually Adjust Your Brightness
With Auto-Brightness off, you’re in control. You can adjust the brightness manually depending on your environment. Here’s how:
- On iPhone X and later, swipe down from the top right corner to open the 'Control Center'.
- On older models, swipe up from the bottom edge.
- Adjust the brightness by sliding the brightness bar up or down.
Just remember, the brighter your screen, the faster your battery will drain!
Step 3: Turn Off Attention-Aware Features
If your screen still dims, another possible culprit is the 'Attention-Aware Features'. This feature dims your screen when your phone senses that you’re not looking at it. Here’s how to disable it:
1. Open 'Settings'.
2. Tap 'Accessibility'.
3. Select 'Face ID & Attention'.
4. Toggle off 'Attention Aware Features' and confirm with your passcode.
Step 4: Disable True Tone and Night Shift
Features like 'True Tone' and 'Night Shift' can also affect your screen brightness. While these tools are meant to adjust your screen for better color accuracy and reduce blue light, they can sometimes make your screen look too dim. To turn these off:
1. Open the 'Control Center'.
2. Press and hold the brightness bar.
3. Turn off 'Night Shift' and 'True Tone' by tapping their icons until they turn gray.
