Hi Snooky3d,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! If the brightness on your iPhone screen is adjusting on its own, you may have auto-brightness enabled. This will automatically adjust the brightness depending on the lighting conditions. To change this setting, follow these steps:

"To turn auto-brightness on or off:

In the Settings app, tap Accessibility.
Tap Display & Text Size.
Scroll to Auto-Brightness and tap to turn the feature on or off."

You can find more about this feature in the article Adjust the brightness and color temperature on your iPhone or iPad.

Hope that helps!
