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.

YES i am also experiencing this and it’s so frustrating!! the only work around I’ve figured out is making sure live photos is on and once I’ve taken the photo, editing and selecting a different “key photo” for the live photo. it’s agitating because every other frame in the live photo looks normal and how I would expect it to look before the phone auto adjusts the **** out of the brightness.

I really wish there was some way to turn off this over correction

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.

I found a workaround! To be fair, I'm on a 7+ and iOS 15.0.2 so it may not work for everyone, but...

If you do a time-lapse mode photo for barely even a second (note: it won't work in snapping/sending pics from a text) it undoes the photo adjustment feature and gives you an actual photo of how dark it actually is. If you don't want time lapse you can screenshot the photo.

Hope this helps! :)

Sure, go ahead. You're also welcome to reply to a "hater" of that explanation HERE.

This is driving me insane! I cant use my iphone 13 pro indoors because the brightness makes my hair look white! I am using my iphone x instead! Please find a solution

Exactly…. My new iPhone 13 pro max makes all my pictures darker. It would seem okay at first but once I go back to the picture, it would become darker all of a sudden. I don’t know how to fix this.
