Picture this: you are reading or watching something on your iPhone<\/a>, and suddenly, its brightness changes. It goes up or down randomly. Now, things would have been fine if the brightness had matched the surroundings, but that doesn\u2019t happen often. Also, some people, like me, don\u2019t like the auto-changing feature of brightness. We don\u2019t want to be surprised by our phones. In such situations, it becomes annoying when the brightness keeps changing. But don\u2019t worry. This post will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason for brightness going up or down randomly is the auto-brightness feature. But for many users, brightness keeps changing even when auto brightness is off. Let\u2019s learn how to stop the brightness from changing on iPhone.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Turn off the Auto Brightness Feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Open Settings on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Go to Accessibility, followed by ‘Display & Text Size’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To turn it off, go to iPhone Settings > Display & Brightness. Turn off the toggle next to True Tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your iPhone appears dim at full brightness or vice versa, try the following methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Restart Phone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the brightness keeps changing due to a minor bug. All you need to do is restart your iPhone to fix the issue. You can even try force restarting the iPhone to fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Update Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The brightness keeps changing issue can happen due to a bug in your iPhone\u2019s software, too. To fix it, update the software of your phone. For that, go to Settings > General > Software Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Turn off Low Power Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another setting that could be making your iPhone brightness go dim<\/a> is Low Power mode<\/a>. When enabled, the brightness of your iPhone will go dim even if Auto-Brightness is turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To turn off Low Power mode, go to Settings > Battery. Turn off the toggle for Low Power Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong> When Low Power mode is enabled, the battery icon will be yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Turn off White Balance and Reduce Transparency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the bright colors appear washed out on your iPhone, disable the Reduce White Point setting. For that, go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Turn off Reduce White Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, another setting that you should turn off is Reduce Transparency. You will find it on the same screen of ‘Display & Text Size’ in Accessibility settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Disable Attention Awareness Feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should also try turning off the Attention Awareness feature, as it could also be responsible for changing the brightness on your iPhone. Your phone will dim automatically when it detects that you aren\u2019t looking at it. To turn off this feature, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Open Settings and go to Accessibility, followed by ‘Face ID and Attention’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Check Active Focus Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An active Focus mode<\/a> could also be the culprit for brightness changing issues, especially on your iPhone’s lock screen. There\u2019s a setting within each focus known as Dim the screen, which, if enabled, will dim your iPhone\u2019s lock screen when that particular focus mode is active. Try disabling any active focus mode. Additionally, check the schedule of focus modes and turn it off to prevent them from activating automatically at certain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To turn off a Focus mode, open Control Center<\/a> on your iPhone. If a name appears on the Focus tile, it means that a particular Focus is active. Tap on it to turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
