Ios15 iPhone 13 brightens every dark photo

I just got the new iPhone 13 Pro. When I take a photo of a person in dark light, it takes the photo and looks good… but as soon as I view it in photos it automatically changes it to a bright photo like it’s in good lighting.

I’ve already turned off night mode, exposure down, etc. My iPhone 11 Pro could take good dark photos, so this should be even better. There seems to be no way to stop this. I’ve preserved settings and turned everything off, yet still it brightens every photo - and I don’t mean a slight adjustment.. it’s taking a dark photo and making it bright.

Please tell me how to fix this. It happens on both front and facing cameras.

I’m having the same issues with my iPhone 13 and it’s sooo annoying , the picture looks all bright and perfect before I take it and after I take it, it gets darker and bad. Have you found a solution 😭

Yeahh, this doesn’t happen to my outside photos, only indoor. But yeah I agree I do wish this could be a turn on/off option in a future iOS update, I hope Apple notices.

I finally found the answer! When you focus you will get a sun you can scroll the sun up or down to increase or decrease the sun!

You can thank me😅

Yeah that doesn’t work, that just changes the exposure. Not Apple automatically editing a photo for you

I am so so frustrated. Just bought the new phone and I HATE how the photos auto brighten. Apple please fix this. I am wishing I kept my older model and seriously so unhappy.
