Auto-brightness button is missing

Hello, I'm on iOS 10.3.2 & I'm using an iPhone 5. I don't know why but I found the auto brightness toggle on Setting>General>Accessibility>Magnifier

I don't know if Apple misplaced it or intentionally put it there.

1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
2. Drag the slider to the right or left.
3. If your iOS device has an ambient-light sensor, you’ll see an Auto-Brightness setting under the slider. Auto-Brightness uses a light sensor to adjust brightness based on your surroundings. This setting can sometimes improve battery life.

Like HILMI SYAHIR, my iPhone 6s with iOS 11.0.3, has the Auto-Brightness option under General>Accessibility>Magnifier. Only thing under General>Accessibility>Display Accomodations, in regards to auto-brightness, is the old note "Turning off auto-brightness may affect battery life"; there is no selectable option for auto-brightness under Display Accomodations for me.

Ok I found my solution.... some phone auto brightness will work if you go to: General>Accessibility>Magnifier

.

For my phone which is 6s, this option didn’t work for me, I can slide button to on and off, but my screen brightness didn’t change.

Instead I found this option works for my phone: General>Accessibility>Display Accomodations.

I have exactly the same problem.

The Message is there but the switch is missing.

I updated now to the 11.2 beta 1 but here is also the same Problem ?

Me too:

Apple Inc. HAS NO SOLUTION

I’ve tried the auto brightness button in the magnifier section but nothing happened. My screen brightness didn’t adjust.

Is there another way to get auto brightness? Or is this a problem Apple need to fix?

I too have this frustrating bug. Very annoying to change screen brightness every time I go outdoor and come in and visa versa.

Apple team, please, please, please resolve this bug immediately and release an update.

I have both the 6s Plus and 7 Plus and both running 11.1.2 and I have turned on Auto Brightness in both locations but I don't really see a change. I will have to go into an area where the lighting is poor and see the phone makes that adjustment.

The concern I have is the battery drain if the Auto Brightness is on. In past phones, it was recommended to turn OFF auto brightness to save battery life. I am not sure that Apple has fixed that problem.

I also just changed my screen and have the same issue. I have an iPhone 6s Plus with ios 11.1.2 . It is not found when I go to settings general accessibility display accommodations. Instead it says "Turning off auto-brightness may affect battery life" but there is no switch to turn on or off.

Weird but I found the same thing. No answer as to why though.

its not missing, it changed, to set auto brightness you must go to setting,general,accessibility, display accommodations

That is a strange place to “hide” the auto brightness switch, but hey, your answer was spot on and solved my problem!

Thanks

After factory reset STILL doesn’t work!

Yeah. I also found it there. But it doesn’t work.
