iPhone XS Xs lowering brightness itself

[Bimmber]

Hello everybody,

Just got brand new Xs yesterday. I have turned off true tone and brightness is set to max. But phone lowers brightness itself randomly without my knowledge Not when I`m using it, but I will unlock it and find that screen is darker than it was before I locked it - when I go into setting, it has lowered brightness itself. I am on latest iOS (not beta). Why and how to stop it?

Thanks

Not really a full solution for you, but:

Hey Siri! "turn brightness up all the way!"

That will do the trick

I`m not looking for a solution, but cause of the problem

Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations.
Turn off Auto Brightness

Oh lord, why on earth its under Accessbility ?!

Thank you so much! I have spent 5 years on Android, now back to iOS, lot of new stuff

hmm... Autobrightness is still turned on (?) (under Settings/Display & brightness?)
Also, check for relevant settings /General/Accessibility - maybe in Display Accommodations settings?
Looks like you found it!

I personally like Auto Brightness, but I can see why some people wouldn't.

For me, the key is to go outside in full sun and set it all the way up, and next set it as low as possible in a dark room. Then it's fine outdoors but not too bright when I'm in bed. That way I never really have to fiddle with brightness.

There is no such thing as Auto brightness under Settings->Display & Brightness


Hmm

Post #6 it's further into that section under Display Accommodations.

Why on earth would you want brightness all the way up and autobrightness off?? You will kill the battery, risk screen burn in and light up a room with the display! I don't get it...

Because I came from a phone with amazing screen which was very bright. Xs screen looks darker to me if not on max brightness.

Xr is less bright by a small midge.

In settings just do the pull down search for Auto Brightness. Anything you’re looking for in settings it’s much easier to use the search. Sometimes things are really buried in there.
