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.

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...

I find this really outrageous; here we are, on an Apple discussion site, customers having bought iPhones each worth way over a thousand $ and this specific problem has been discussed for months! For some the problem has been resolved, but others are still struggling with it.

AND THERE ARE NOBODY FROM APPLE TO GIVE ANY STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS!

How many other topics are being discussed right now with the same outcome,

What are they doing at Apple? Probably

laughing their heads off saying: 'Let them figure it out between themselves, what do we care, it doesn’t cost us a cent anyway...’

Or you could pay even more big bucks for Apple Care and waste your time sitting in a telephone queue and still not get the right answer (now I’m being mean... or am I?).

The iPhones are great phones, but my oh my, you don’t want one of them to act up on you.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone!

Amen!!! You’re getting me fired up again on this. $1200 for my brand new iPhone 12. It’s a month old. I’ve scoured the web and tried every suggestion posted here and then some. An acquaintance who works for Apple (I reached out to her on Instagram mind you) told me to go to the Apple store to resolve it. Have u seen the lines at Apple lately? Still debating if I should stand there and wait. It’s probably a quick fix which really chaps my ***.
