Auto Brightness on iPhone or iPad has been a part of Display & Brightness section of the iOS 10 operating system. Whenever you wanted to take control of the brightness due to an issue, it was quite easy to turn off auto brightness. After that, you could easily adjust your iPhone or iPad brightness using the Control Center Slider. However, things have changed in iOS 11 as the company has relocated the Auto Brightness feature to another section.
In iOS 11, the Auto Brightness featured in turned on by default. You can still manually control the brightness from an all-new Control Center. However, as soon as the environment changes, the Auto Brightness feature adjusts the brightness as per the lightning in the surrounding, overriding your manual settings. Such situations can become frustrating, especially when you’re unable to locate the toggle to turn off Auto-Brightness feature.
Apple is recommending iOS users to not disable the auto-brightness feature in iOS 11. To keep users from disabling the feature, Apple has not only moved it under Accessibility section, but it has also put up a warning – “Turning off auto-brightness may affect battery life.”
The warning message hints towards Apple’s proficiency at automatically figuring out the appropriate brightness level for all possible lighting conditions. The company seems to have customized the feature in such as way that the feature helps the user in getting more out of the battery juice.
However, there is still a possibility of the auto brightness feature not working properly on your device, or maybe you like to control the display brightness yourself. If so, please continue reading to learn the exact steps needed to disable auto brightness on iPhone or iPad.
