The addition of ambient sensors to smartphone displays allowed phone manufacturers, including Apple, to offer automatic brightness adjustment feature. When you enter a bright room or step out in sunlight, then the brightness increases automatically after sensing the surroundings. Similarly, if you are in a dark place, then the brightness decreases.

However, no software or hardware is flawless, and it’s entirely possible that you simply don’t like the way a specific feature works or in this case want to conserve battery by running your device on low brightness.  Whatever the case may be, if you wish to disable the auto-brightness feature on your iPhone, iPad or iPod running the iOS 13, here’s a guide to help you in a few simple steps alongwith few other additional display customisations available in iOS 13.
