Today’s Quick Tip….
How to disable Auto-Brightness on your iPhone
Do you find it irritating when your iPhone automatically adjusts the brightness of its screen every time there’s a change in the ambient lighting?
Personally, I prefer adjusting the brightness on my devices manually instead of having them do it for me.
If you feel the same way you can easily disable the “Auto-Brightness” feature on your iPhone so you can manually control its screen brightness however you see fit. Just follow the steps below:
1 – Tap your iPhone’s Settings icon (it looks like a “gear“).
2 – Scroll down and tap Accessibility.
3 – Tap Display & Text Size.
4 – Scroll down and toggle the “Auto-Brightness” setting to Off (it should turn from green to gray).
