Hi Dear iOS 14.6 Team,
I updated my iPhone 6s yesterday to the latest version and find auto brightness feature is a thing of the past or no longer a feature of iPhone 6s ??
I would like to ask, demand, beg,
awaiting a quick and permanent fix soon
Thanks,

iPhone 6s, iOS 14
ssravjee,
Is that option greyed out in your Settings, or is your iPhone just not adjusting the brightness automatically while that setting is enabled?
Does the screen brightness change when you adjust it manually using the Control Center?
Does this occur in multiple lightning conditions?
Also, do you use a case with your iPhone? If so, does that persist if you temporarily remove your case? That should help rule out any possible conflicts with the ambient light sensor being covered unintentionally.
Cheers.
ssravjee,
Since that still persists, you would want to reach out to Apple Support so they can look into that behavior further. You can reach out to them using the following link: Contact Apple Support

Hello ssravjee,
Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that situation with the Auto-Brightness feature on your iPhone 6s.
To clarify, is the brightness of your screen no longer adjusting automatically, or is that option not showing up under the Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size menu?
Also, have you had the chance to restart your iPhone since you noticed this behavior?
Those details should help to further isolate and address this behavior.
Take care.
Thanks for getting back to me.
The option is available albeit not working.
And to answer your next question I have restarted my iPhone more than once after the iOS update, with no positive results yet!
What is the next steps?
Thanks in advance
SSR
thanks for your response. No luck.
Thanks FuchsiaBttrfli.
Yes, that's a workaround, isn't it.
We have managed to find that option, by trial-and-error.
Plus, now in iOS hardware/software tradition, older versions like iPhone 6s family started loosing network connectivity with wifi, slow loading of emails and not playing well with smart devices like bluetooth, Google Nest is at play.
Just be aware to upgrade soon, as these products will be made obsolete this year one way or another, looking at the way these products are throttled even with new batteries in place.
Cheers,

That’s what I did. They can’t fix it.
I have the same issue on my iPhone X…
Same issue on my 12 Pro Max. TrueTone is turned off, so is auto-dimming in accessibility. Phone keeps dimming, can’t figure out why.
It’s still under accessibility but not under visual/audio anymore… it’s under display and text size.
Ops iOS 14.6 has done it again - auto brightness broken
