Quick Tip: Turn Auto-Brightness Off/On in iOS 11

October 1, 2017 · by Sam

auto-brightness

“Auto-brightness” is a setting that is intended to save battery by automatically brightening or dimming your iPhone’s screen based on the ambient light where you are.

When the “auto-brightness” setting is turned on, if you are in a dark place then auto-brightness will automatically dim your iPhone’s screen (as you generally would not need your iPhone to be really bright in order to be able to read your iPhone in a dark place), and if you are in a bright place (like outside in sunlight) then auto-brightness will automatically brighten your iPhone’s screen so you are able to see the screen.

The “auto-brightness” setting is automatically turned on in iOS 11. However, if you are like me and prefer to have your screen brightness held constant all of the time, then “auto-brightness” can get pretty annoying. Luckily there is a way to turn it off, and here is how.

Video Instructions:

Simple Quick Instructions: [Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Display Accommodations –> Toggle “Auto-Brightness”]

Simple Step-by-Step Instructions:

First, open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.

Finally, tap the toggle to turn “Auto-Brightness” off.

That’s all there is to it! The “auto-brightness” setting is now turned off and your iPhone’s screen will not get darker or lighter based on the ambient lighting. If you want to turn “auto-brightness” on, then just follow the steps above and then tap the  toggle to turn “Auto-Brightness” on.
