All my screenshots are dark?

Every screen shot I take turns out super dark, like the brightness is turned all the way down or there's a dark grey filter over it. I can't figure out what's wrong, thought it was the ios14 update but my friend isn't having the same issue at all.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

I have the same thing. But I’ve been using the zoom function to dim my screen further.


I just turned off zoom and the screenshots come out as they should.


Maybe there is another option in the accessibility for this.

If you have the filter for low lighting on in zoom filters it’s for a reason turning on and off this filter is frustrating is there anyway screenshots can be normal even in low lighting? I know you can turn it off and there is way easier ways then going to settings just to turn it off. Click your screen three times with three fingers click filter and then none. Point is I have sensitive eyes bright lights cause extreme migraines turning this setting on and off is a problem. Is there anything else a screenshot setting?? I’ll probably look it up on YouTube but it probably won’t matter because of course there is a new update already maybe this problem got fixed!

I don’t this you understand. We are using the zoom function not for zoom, but purely for the low light setting.


IOS 13 would automatically and momentarily make screen full bright when taking a screenshot.


If Apple wasn’t so lazy there would just be a low light setting from the get got....


iOS 14 By far one of the worst yet in recent memory.

Thanks Wasp624. It’s incredible what these developers think of.


I find it equally incredible that Apple actually need to make a forum like this one for people like me who think there’s something wrong with the iPhone, only to find out that there’s something to turn Off or On someplace illogic deep inside the Settings... Had I known, I would have had a "night phone" for over 2 years...
