How to disable automatic brightness on your iphone or ipad with ios 11

Both the iPhone and the iPad include ambient light sensors, which allows us to count on a very useful feature, the automatic brightness , thanks to which the screen of our device will brighten more in bright ambient conditions, but it will reduce the brightness just when we are. in a place with little light. But you may want to disable this option, or turn it back on, and you find that Apple has hidden the automatic brightness setting even further within the iOS Settings.

Turn automatic brightness on or off on your iOS 11 device

If you want to deactivate the automatic brightness adjustment or, after having disabled it, you have thought better of it, you just have to follow the following steps. Of course, keep in mind that in this mini tutorial we are referring to iOS 11.

• First of all, open the Settings app and follow the path General → Accessibility → Display settings, in this section you will find the section Automatic brightness . Next to it, a slider that you must touch to activate or deactivate this option.

As you have seen, it is super easy to activate or deactivate this option for which Apple warns us that "Deactivating the automatic brightness could affect the battery life". The reason is simple: if we maintain excessive brightness in low light conditions, we will be consuming more energy than necessary.

Personally, I always keep the Auto Brightness option turned on. Also, in case the screen brightness is incorrectly set (ie too bright or too dark in certain situations), you can readjust it and the system will automatically "learn" your settings and try to remember it next time.
