iPhone 15 Pro Max Dim Overlay Bug

Was also having this issue and managed to fix it. In settings go to accessibility>zoom>zoom filter>none.

I had the lowlight zoom filter enabled and it caused this so I have a feeling that’s the issue you’re encountering too.

I think you have Turned ON the Reduce

White Point. To Check go to Accessibility->Display& Text Size-> Reduce White Point. It lowers the brightness of colors. Must check this option. Hope it will be helpful.

Hi nK-MickeyMouse,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may have checked most settings in Adjust the brightness and color temperature on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support which is the best starting point for this issue. We'd recommend giving that another look to make sure you've tried the tips there.

If the same continues, it may be best to reach out to Apple Support for more assistance. You can do that from Get Support.

Kind regards.

Settings>Accessibility>Motion>Dim Flashing Lights. Turn it off. That solved it for me.

I just have to say thanks for this—my phone display was so much dimmer than my husband’s (exact same, 15 Pro Max). Somehow I must have messed with this at some point and you led me back to fix it…thank you!!!! It had really been annoying me.

that fixed it...thank you for your help!!

I felt like living in the dark-age for a long time. Thanks !!!! 🥹

Go into brightness and display and down the bottom you will find always on display . I have turned this off and now have no back ground pics on low it has disappeared and gone back normal
