The auto-calibration is set up by default. If you set your iPhone up as new or whatever it’s already set. But if you tell Siri to turn your brightness up or move the brightness slider up yourself… auto brightness gets messed up. It is no longer set as a default setting anymore.
Think auto brightness might drain the battery quicker, just shot up to 60% 😬
Ah thats why I have no problem i let it auto calibrate without even paying attention and then never mess with it explains much
Maybe its where you are working and it calibrates to that location? I must have enough lights it looks brighter in general.??
I keep playing with my brightness slider. 😁🤦♂️😂
LOL! The calibration is pretty much instaneous. This is what I did. I went into a complete pitch black room. On my phone, I turned off Auto Brightness and then on again. Now you set the brightness level in the pitch black room to what you want the brightness to be when the lights are off. This will be the reference point that is used to adjust the brightness in different lighting conditions. Once you set the reference in pitch black, leave auto brightness on. Now turn on the ligthts. Thats it, all done with calibration.
You need to calibrate it dude. You want Tim Cook to do that for you or what? 😂
SMH! Yeah, auto brightness is not meant for you. Play with the volume slider, come on!
I don't use true tone. It makes the display look to warm to me. I prefer the cooler display temp. Colors pop more with True Tone off.
Turn that True Tone off lol it’s bugging me. Yucky yellow screen… you like that?
It’s still daylight here, 3pm 😁
I stuffed it up 😂 I’ll put the blanket over my head and calibrate it again. 🤦♂️
Make sure it’s pitch dark. No lights. You can also cover Face ID module with your hands too.
So once I set my brightness, don’t touch it again? Or let it adjust itself from 0%
You might have something running in the background or a setting that is causing your battery drain. Post your 24 hour battery Screen On/Off chart. Make sure to include the apps shown below the chart. Also, select "Show Activity" that will show which apps are running in the foreground and background.
The brightness adjusts slowly up and down. This is so that your eyes can adjust the lighting condition.
So with auto brightness on, turn brightness all the way down in a dark room, then go into settings and toggle off and on auto brightness and don’t touch the brightness slider ever again? 🚫👉
I see what you are saying. Turn on True Tone at night time.
You don't need to touch the brightness. Go into a closet, close the door. Now when it is pitch black, turn off Auto Brightness and then on again. What will happen is the brightness will go all the way down. Now move the brightness to however you want the display to be when it is pitch black. I set mine to about 2%. Once you do that, you are done. Don't touch the brightness, let it adjust it on its own.
I had fiddled with the auto brightness bar tonight during discussion so I calibrated golly that works and is interesting learned something valuable. It was near zero in dark and as I turned on my office lights it went to near 35 or 40 cannot tell it does not say a number. Anyway quite interesting….
