updated to iOS11 and now auto-brightness does not work. I know it has moved to 'Display Accommodations' but the toggle switch is not there. I have tried hard reset, reverting to previous backup, complete wipe and reset. None of these options made a difference.
iPhone 6, iOS 11.1.2
Hi Gus,
Auto brightness should be right under accessibilty & display and brightness settings, yes. Check your control panel also
In earlier version, just under Display settings.
You shouldn't have to go any further.

If not where it should be, contact support to help guide you on your particular model & iOS:
Hi Gus, it's set to default...
About brightness levels
iOS devices use an ambient light sensor to adjust brightness levels based on the light conditions around you. The sensor lowers brightness in dark locations and raises brightness in light locations. The auto-brightness feature is on by default.
When auto-brightness is on, you'll notice that your device's brightness slider moves according to changing light conditions.
In iOS 11, you can turn auto-brightness on or off in Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations. In iOS 10 and earlier, go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
Just the normal brightness slider, no auto-brightness option
Fully aware of this. Original post has screenshot of ‘display accommodations’. Here it is again:
But screen brightness doesn’t change with ambient light. And there is no option to turn it off
It is probably the reason. You might want to check the forums at iFixit or find a good 3rd party repair shop and have them look at it.
Have you tried to restore to factory conditions and set up as new? Restoring from backup possibly puts corrupted software back onto the device.
Yes, my ‘complete wipe and reset’ was a factory reset and setup from ‘new’. It didn’t resolve the issue so then just restored.
Yep, you're definitely on iOS 11. I too find it odd that there's no toggle, yet it gives you that notification about it.
It's as if auto is set as default.
Call support to make sure
But it’s not set to auto, it is off. I have to adjust it manually (not that it is difficult)
No, I understand
I meant that it appears the phone doesn't allow you to set it...instead, it comes with auto-adjust unless you change other settings naturally.
The ability to turn Auto-Brightness on/off has changed locations in iOS 11. It is found in Settings>General>Accessibility>Display Accommodations>Auto-Brightness.
Do you have restrictions set at all?
By changing accomodations only, does this change
Which model phone is this and have you ever had the screen replaced?
no auto-brightness option in display accommodations
