Save battery by setting screen brightness.

Apple, on its website, has a section enabled in which it gives us advice to extend the battery life of our device , especially our iPhone. Many of them are good advice but there is one that we do not advise you to do. We believe that it will make your phone consume more battery than it supposedly should.

This tip to save battery life given by Apple,encourages us to activate the automatic brightness option so that the screen changes the brightness according to the light level that we have at all times. When we have a lot of light, the brightness of the screen will increase and when we have little, the brightness will decrease.

In itself, the function is very good since it adjusts the brightness of the screen to the ambient light. This makes us save battery, especially when we are in low light conditions.

But the problem is that for the brightness to work automatically, the iPhone uses a light sensor that is constantly on. This causes a battery drain that we can avoid very easily. This is the same as the True Tone.

How to turn off auto brightness to save battery on iOS:

It's really simple. In a few steps we will be able to disable automatic brightness and, in turn, save battery life.

To do this we go to the device settings. Here we look for another one with the name of "Accessibility", from which we will have access to several important functions of the device.

Among them is, right at the top, a tab called “Display and text size”. Press and, at the very bottom, we will see how the famous tab to activate or deactivate appears, with the name "Automatic brightness".
