It can be a struggle to find the perfect balance between reading your phone screen in bright daylight and protecting your eyes from the intense light emitted by your screen at night. Luckily, there are simple solutions to address various screen brightness issues. Here, we'll explore the most common problems and how to fix them.

Problem No. 1: Screen Brightness Keeps Shifting

If your screen brightness frequently changes unexpectedly, the culprit may be the auto brightness setting. While this feature can be helpful, it doesn't always match your preferences and can result in a blindingly bright or frustratingly dim screen. Moreover, excessive brightness can drain your phone's battery. Fortunately, you can easily turn off or reset auto brightness to suit your needs.

On iOS: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Toggle off the auto-brightness option. Then, adjust the brightness bar to your desired level. If needed, you can switch it back on to reset the auto-brightness settings.

Most Android phones have a similar feature. On Samsung devices, follow these steps:

On Android: Go to Settings > Display. Toggle off the "Adaptive brightness" slider. Then, adjust the brightness bar to your desired level.

Problem No. 2: Screen Is Constantly Too Dark

If your screen consistently appears dark, power-saving mode may be the cause. When your battery is running low, your smartphone may reduce power consumption by dimming the display. However, if you need to increase brightness, you can simply turn off power-saving mode.

On iOS: Go to Settings > Battery. Toggle off the "Low Power Mode" slider. Alternatively, you can add "Low Power Mode" to your Control Center for easy access by going to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls.

On Android: Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery. Toggle off the switch next to "Power saving mode".

Problem No. 3: Phone Screen Looks Orange

If you notice an orange tint on your phone screen, you may have accidentally enabled Night Shift mode. Night Shift is a setting that reduces blue light emission to alleviate eye strain. However, its efficacy is still a topic of debate. If you prefer your screen without the orange hue, follow these steps to disable Night Shift.

On iOS: Open the Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen). Long press the Brightness slider and tap the Night Shift icon to turn it off or on.

On Android: Go to Settings > Display > Night Light. Toggle it off to deactivate the feature.

By adjusting your phone's brightness settings to your liking, you can protect your eyes and enhance your viewing experience.
