Turn off automatic screen brightness adjustment, here’s how to do it!

We’ve all had moments when our iPhone’s automatic screen brightness adjustment drove us to madness. For example, you are outside in the sun and try to read your screen, but the brightness constantly changes and makes it difficult to see what is on the screen. But did you know there is a solution? In this blog, we’ll show you how to disable that irritating feature and regain control of your screen brightness.

Step 1: Go to your settings

Step 2: Scroll To ‘Face ID and Access Code’
Once in your settings, scroll down and find the option called “Face ID and Access Code. Tap it to continue.

Step 3: Find “Facilities Attention Detection.
Now comes the important part. Under “Face ID and Access Code,” scroll down again until you see “Features Attention Detection. If this feature is enabled, your iPhone will try to detect if your attention is focused on the screen and adjust the screen brightness accordingly.
