There could be several reasons why your iPhone’s brightness isn’t working properly. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:


1. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can solve many minor software issues.

2. Turn off Auto-Brightness: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and disable Auto-Brightness. Then manually adjust your brightness level to see if it works.

3. Check for a software update: Ensure your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

4. Reset All Settings: If none of the above works, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will not erase your data, but will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords, wallpapers, and brightness level.


If none of these steps fix the issue, it could be a hardware problem. In that case, you should contact Apple Support or an authorized repair center.
