How do I stop my screen from dimming with inactivity?

I would like to keep my screen light on high at all times.

every time I open my phone up, my screen light has dimmed. I would like to keep it on high at all times.

There are a couple settings that can affect screen brightness.

Go to Settings/Accessibility/Display & Text Size and turn off Auto-Brightness
Go to Settings/Accessibility/FaceID & Attention and turn off Attention Aware features (this feature dims the screen when you aren’t looking at it to save energy)

Other than these settings, the screen will dim a few seconds before it locks when the phone has been idle. Just tap anywhere to keep it on.
