Problem #2: My screen is constantly too dark.Īssuming your display isn't damaged, the most common culprit for a consistently darkened screen is power saving mode. Then, adjust the brightness bar until you've reached your desired level of brightness. 📲On Android: Settings > Display > Tap the slider next to Adaptive brightness and switch it to the off position. Here's how Samsung says you can turn it off. Most Android phones have a similar auto brightness feature. You can switch it back on to reset the auto-brightness settings, if desired. 📲On iOS: Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Turn off auto-brightness. So if it's bright outside, the slider should move up to create a bright screen, and if you're in a dark bedroom, the slider should move down to dim it.Įven though auto brightness is on by default, it's pretty easy to switch it off or reset it-and your eyes will thank you. You can see this in action if you keep your eyes on the brightness slider, which will move according to those light conditions.
I've now discovered the brightness keyboard hotkeys! So at least I don't have to fiddle around in settings if the screen goes dark.Apple says its iOS devices use an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust brightness levels based on the light conditions in your surroundings. I also need to do a bit more detective work on the circumstances when it happens and will try unsetting Slightly Dim The Display on Battery Power to begin with, as the battery life is so good I don't think I really need this. I'm not thinking of returning my Macbook at this point as I'm assuming it is far more likely to be a software issue that will eventually be fixed in an OS upgrade rather than a hardware problem. I have Automatically Adjust Brightness and True Tone enabled, as well as Slightly Dim The Display on Battery Power. I use Firefox as my browser and certainly for the two occasions today that was open. Once again I used Display in Settings to increase the brightness. It's just happened twice today whilst using it int the kitchen, for no apparent reason.
I managed to get Display up in the settings and with some difficulty used the slider increase the brightness. The first time I used it outside in daylight (not super bright sunshine) it dimmed to such an extent I could hardly see the screen content.
I've also seen this with my Macbook Air M1 running (now) 11.2.2.
