How To Make iPhone Brighter

Are you struggling to see whatever content is displayed on your iPhone, especially in broad daylight? If yes, you need to increase your iPhone’s brightness and save yourself this trouble. But if you’ve just started using iOS, this is easier said than done, so you might need help learning some of these basic tasks that make using your iPhone a lot smoother. 

You’ll be glad to know that you can quickly increase your iPhone’s brightness without breaking a sweat. Consequently, you’ll have a much better time browsing, texting, and streaming music or movies. 

Therefore, here are some quick ideas on how you can make iPhone screen brighter when it’s too dark to see. 

Method #1: Check Your iPhone’s Screen Brightness and Adjust It Manually

The easiest way to brighten up your iPhone’s screen is by manually adjusting the brightness level. There are three ways you can do this. 

Via the Control Center

When using the Control Center, here are the steps to follow to brighten up your phone’s screen; 

1. Open the controller, and if your iPhone has Face ID, you’ll need to swipe down from your screen’s top right corner. In contrast, swipe up from the screen’s middle button if you’re using an iPhone with the Home button. 
2. Increase the screen brightness by swiping up the brightness slider. 

Using Siri

You can also use iPhone’s voice command to increase the screen brightness. 

1. By saying, “Hey Siri.” 
2. Commanding Siri to increase the screen brightness by saying something like “Set screen brightness to the maximum” or “Increase screen brightness.”  

Via the Settings App

Alternatively, you can go to the settings to manually increase brightness.

1. Go to the “Settings” app. 
2. Click on “Display & Brightness”.
3. Under “Brightness”, move the slider to the right, thereby increasing screen brightness.  

Method #2: Disable Auto-Brightness 

The auto-brightness feature is designed to automatically adjust your iPhone’s brightness depending on the amount of ambient light at a particular time. So if your iPhone’s screen appears too dark, disabling this feature might help make it brighter, and here are the steps to follow when doing this:

1. Click on the “Settings” icon. 
2. Navigate to “Accessibility”. 
3. Click on “Display & Text Size”.
4. Go to the bottom and tap on “Auto-Brightness” to switch off this feature.   

Check whether the brightness of your iPhone’s screen has improved. 

Method #3: Disable Reduce White Point Feature

The White Point feature is another thing that might reduce your iPhone’s screen brightness. It does this by minimizing harsh colors, thereby making your screen dimmer. Because of this, your phone’s screen doesn’t look as bright even when the brightness level is to the maximum. You can bypass this by following these steps to switch off the Reduce White point feature: 

1. Go to the “Settings” app. 
2. Press on “Accessibility”. 
3. Click on “Display & Text Size”. 
4. Scroll down until you see “Reduce White Point” and move the slider to disable this feature.

Method #4: Switch Off Low Power Mode

If your iPhone’s Low Power Mode is switched on, the brightness will noticeably get darker. Your phone does this to try and save energy because a higher screen brightness usually uses up more battery. Therefore, your phone’s battery life for much longer before it completely becomes depleted. 

To switch off Low Power Mode, follow these steps: 

1. Launch the “Settings” app. 
2. Scroll down until you see “Battery”. 
3. Switch off “Low Power Mode”. 

Method #5: Switch Off Do Not Disturb Mode 

Another feature that reduces the brightness of your iPhone is the Do Not Disturb mode, which allows you to focus on studying or working. But if you want your screen to be brighter, you’ll need to switch it off, and here are the steps to follow: 

Turn Off From the Lock Screen 

To switch off Do Not Disturb from the lock screen, follow these steps:

1. Click on the moon icon below and date if the screen is locked. 
2. Click on “Do Not Disturb” to switch it off. 

Go to Settings 

You can also go to Settings to disable Do Not Disturb mode, and here are the steps to follow: 

1. Launch the “Settings” app. 
2. Click on “Focus”.
3. Press “Do Not Disturb”. 
4. Turn off Do Not Disturb by toggling the switch. 

Summary 

The screen is your iPhone’s most essential part, and if it doesn’t work well, your entire experience when using your phone is ruined. This can be affected when the screen brightness is quite low, causing you to strain to see whatever’s being displayed. 

Fortunately, you can resolve such an issue by following certain techniques to adjust your iPhone’s brightness. This in-depth blog post has outlined how you can get this done, which comes in handy when using your iPhone under bright lighting conditions as no reflections appear on the smartphone’s glass.
