When I turn the screen brightness down at night, it's still too bright and it hurts my eyes. the white parts are very bright and other parts for example the texts are fading but if the texts are white they also glow. How can I dim the brightness of the whole screen?
iPhone 12, iOS 16

Troubleshooting Screen Dimming:
A. Determine if it is Automatic:
Go Here: Use Dark Mode on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
As it Reads: "To turn Dark Mode on automatically at sunset or at a specific time, go to Settings > Display & Brightness and select Automatic. Then tap Options to set a schedule for Dark Mode."
B. Try Resetting the Home Screen:
Go Here: Move and organize apps on iPhone - Apple Support
Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

Q1. "from what I understand he’s not satisfied with how dim it gets: like others I know he might have sensitive eyes in the dark"
A1. Ask your options optometrist if they have any thoughts.
Q2. "so I suggested him to dim it all the way, then reduce white point, which is what that’s for."
A2. Recommend this to Apple:
Being not an option, recommend this to Apple. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is their customers prefer, and what features to include in models to come.
Q3. "God Bless you TheLittles"
A3. Thank you.

Ok… I’ll prove it
settings—> accessibility—> display & text size—> reduce white point
Go to your phones and try it
I already have… many times
if you want it quick…
settings—> accessibility—> accessibility shortcut(s)—> select shortcuts ya want
access shortcuts by triple clicking power button (aka “side button”)
this combined with dimming screen will do what AK6UN wants it to do
again GOD BLESS
Yours in haste,
MEGA49R
The lowest it can go is the dimmest it can get…
actually not!
what I do is I reduce white point in accessibility settings
i added accessibility shortcuts to control panel
settings- control panel- then add what you want
just search “reduce white point” in settings
"Excuse me… that will reset his entire phone. All of it"

Please Clarify Your Post::
So, do you want to do this at a certain time? To a certain app? Or just during the night? Use dark mode dringthe night. Is that not what you want yo do?
About Resetting the Home Screen:
High-Contrast may be reset. Take a screenshot of each Home Screen, and then place it all back to where it needs to be: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support

With “reduce white point” on it can get so dim it looks off!
God Bless you TheLittles
