iPhone 7 Missing Auto Brightness

Hello. I am attempting to disable auto-brightness, although it is nowhere in the settings. I search for auto-brightness, tap on it, and it is just not there. I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance,

Andrew

My 7 has it, yours does not.

Your iOS seems to be corrupt.

Backup and restore to factory, test, then restore backup

Unlock your SIM PIN if it has one

Check settings ad above for auto-brightness. If the setting isn't there it has to be some bizarre hardware fault.

If is now there, restore the backup.

 If the problem comes back then you have a weird setting or rogue app, suspect a security app.
