How to Disable Auto-Brightness and Other Unwanted Features on Your Device
Auto-brightness is a tool on many smartphones and tablets. Apple iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad use it. It adjusts the screen brightness based on nearby light. This change helps with clear views. Yet, some users want to control brightness by hand. Disabling auto-brightness gives you more control and may save battery life. This guide shows you how to disable auto-brightness on iOS and Samsung Galaxy devices.
