In this tutorial, we show you how to increase the brightness of your dark iPhone screen and prevent it from decreasing automatically and unnecessarily in the wrong situations.
These solutions will fix the problem if your iPhone screen is dim, brightness automatically goes down, or the iPhone screen is dark but brightness is up, and other similar issues.
Your Apple Watch display was perfectly fine and bright, but suddenly it got considerably darker. If you find yourself in this situation, here are eight solutions to fix your Apple Watch dim screen and make it brighter.
These fixes apply to all models, including Apple Watch Series 7, Series 6, SE running any new or older version of watchOS.
Being in control of your iPhone’s display brightness can be incredibly convenient depending on your surrounding circumstances. But I’ve long noticed that even the lowest brightness setting isn’t quite as low as I like it sometimes.
It’s easy to change your iPhone’s volume level thanks to a duo of omnipresent volume buttons on the edge of your display. But when your iPhone’s display is too bright or dim, users are compelled to navigate touch interfaces like Control Center, which can sometimes be a challenge if the display is too dim to perceive during the brighter hours of the day.
If you ever wished that changing your iPhone’s display brightness could be as effortless as adjusting the volume, then you’ll welcome a new and free jailbreak tweak called VolumeBrightness by iOS developer Gilshahar7, as it fundamentally lets you toggle between display brightness and volume mode when using your handset’s volume buttons.
With an external (hardware) keyboard like the Magic Keyboard connected to your iPad, the onscreen (software) keyboard doesn’t appear. Apple in its wisdom does allow you to switch between the hardware and software keyboard, but it could have definitely done a better job surfacing that feature for average users who may be unaware it even exists in the firsts place. Follow along with our step-by-step tutorial to learn how to quickly switch your iPad keyboard between the stock iOS keyboard and your Magic Keyboard or any other physical iPad keyboard.
The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro features backlit keys that make it a lot easier to type in the dark. The Magic Keyboard brightness can be changed manually or automatically, based on the ambient lighting conditions. But sometimes, you want to watch a movie in the dark or perhaps read a long article or a book without the keyboard backlighting interfering. Don't worry, our tutorial will teach you how to adjust the Magic Keyboard brightness to your liking.
If you’re ready to upgrade Control Center’s display brightness module, then we’d recommend turning your attention to a newly released jailbreak tweak called CCBrightnessExtended by iOS developer Paparajote Team.
In the screenshot examples above, you can see that CCBrightnessExtended augments Control Center’s display brightness module by integrating a toggle that can be used to turn automatic display brightness on or off on demand.
If you’ve ever fancied setting custom display brightness and/or speaker volume levels for individual apps before, then it’s your lucky day. A newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed Appaze by iOS developer AnthoPak lets you do these things with ease.
As shown in the screenshot examples above, Appaze utilizes the Home screen’s native 3D Touch menus to function. Upon pressing firmly on an app icon to reveal its menu, users will find two new additions, including “Set custom brightness” and “Set custom volume” at the top of the list.
When it comes to your iPhone’s display brightness, you might have a preferred brightness level for both indoor and outdoor usage. Sadly, iOS’ automatic brightness setting tends to be less than optimal, and adjusting the display brightness manually can feel somewhat cumbersome at times.
If you’re in the same boat, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called EasyBrightness by iOS developer gilesgc. This tweak mitigates the problem discussed above by letting you designate a default display brightness level and making it easy to return to it on demand.
While some people might like their iPhone screen brightness to change according to their surroundings, you might not. You can manually make your screen brighter or dimmer, but there is a setting that can be disabled so that you never have to worry about it.
Here’s how to stop your iPhone from automatically changing screen brightness.
Using my iPhone’s Control Center interface to adjust my display brightness and volume level has become a second nature to me, and while I love the visuals that Apple has implemented in the latest iteration of Control Center, I still think they could do better with the information displayed there.
With that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised to see a free jailbreak tweak called SugarCane12 from iOS developer manolz. This Control Center add-on displays numeric percentages in the display brightness and volume level sliders so that you have a better representation of their current levels.
A hidden accessibility feature on your iPhone called Smart Invert lets you enjoy a Dark Mode-like experience on your handset on demand, but you still need to invoke it manually if you wish to use it.
With that in mind, iOS developer Cole Cabral has just released a new jailbreak tweak in Cydia called AutoInvert that automatically facilitates your handset’s Smart Invert feature based on your current display brightness level.
