Screen lock animation disappeared at low screen brightness

Hi. The problem is my phone screen lock animation was disappeared when my display brightness was adjusted to low or lowest. I had update to İOS 16.2 and turned off all the accessibility settings. Are there any solution to help? Thanks.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi SamiSaburlu,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you don't see the animation of your Lock Screen when you've decreased brightness, correct?


Do you have Low Power Mode enabled? Low Power Mode can impact visual effects of your iPhone as outlined here: Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad

"Low Power Mode reduces or affects these features:

  • 5G (except for video streaming) on iPhone 12 models1
  • Auto-Lock (defaults to 30 seconds)
  • Display brightness
  • Display refresh rate (limited up to 60 Hz) on iPhone and iPad models with ProMotion display2
  • Some visual effects
  • iCloud Photos (temporarily paused)
  • Automatic downloads
  • Email fetch
  • Background app refresh"


We hope this helps you.


Cheers!

Hello SamiSaburlu,


To confirm, are referencing the wallpaper going black or are widgets going missing on the Lock Screen? The reason we ask is to ensure there right steps are provided. If the issue is with the wallpaper going black or missing, you'll want to reach out to Apple for additional support. You can find their contact details via the link below.


Contact - Official Apple Support


If you're having issues with the widgets going missing, let's begin with restarting the iPhone using the steps listed below.


  1. "Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."


Restart your iPhone


Let us know how that goes!

Apple support couldn't help me,I also discovered that it was a systemic error; the animation works correctly when I scroll from above and lock the iphone when the animation is not smooth on the home screen at low light brightness. I reported this to apple support many times, but I couldn't get a response. I would like to add, the same problem exists in other iphone 13 models.
