Hi there yaxkin145,


You'll want to start by making sure your iPhone is updated to the latest software version, which is iOS 16.5.1. You can see the currently installed version by going to Settings > General > About. IF needed, follow these steps to update your iPhone: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Next, make sure you've tried turning off Auto-Brightness with these steps:


To turn auto-brightness on or off:
1. In the Settings app, tap Accessibility.
2. Tap Display & Text Size.
3. Scroll to Auto-Brightness and tap to turn the feature on or off.

You'll find that information here: Adjust the brightness and color temperature on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you still can't adjust the brightness of your iPhone, the next best step is to have it inspected and most likely serviced. This link will help you get started with that process: iPhone Repair & Service - Apple Support


Take care.
