Did you Ever Get a New Screen?:

If you are getting a notification after an update, then the issue is that is an ungenuine display. So, did you have this screen replaced, ever? If so, then ask the person who replaced it to replace it once more, but this time with a genuine screen. Elsewise, you'll continue getting the issue. They should have known better.  Learn More here: About Genuine iPhone Displays - Apple Support

I have the same issue. 100% stock phone. No replacements or repairs. The tint and other settings are correct.

it doesn’t matter what app I use, the color dims, brightens, shifts, and changes depending on the ambient light I’m in. It’s not a subtle change, either. In my web browser, all of the clickable links changed as I was scrolling. Pop! New color! it’s getting really annoying.

Auto-brightness is off.

No setting I’ve tried playing with is correcting this unwanted “feature”.
