Do you ever open up your iPhone and realize that your screen is a lot dimmer than it was an hour ago? Well, this isn't a coincidence. It's an automatic measure that Apple programmed into every iPhone device as a battery-saving measure.
The brightness will adjust by itself depending on how much light is in your surrounding environment. The less light you have around you, the dimmer your screen will get.
Perhaps you'd rather have your iPhone at the same brightness level at all times. Maybe you struggle with your eyesight and simply see better when your phone is at a higher brightness level regardless of if you're in a dark place or not.
The good news is, there's a way to adjust your iPhone's brightness level so that it never switches up on you again.

APPLE'S REPLACEMENT FOR THE PASSWORD
The biggest thing you can watch out for so that your brightness levels remain the same is to not allow your iPhone to overheat. Even if you have Auto-Brightness and True Tone turned off, your iPhone will automatically turn the brightness level down if the device is overheating as a safety measure.
Your phone can overheat sometimes in just seconds if it is left in the sun or any hot location (e.g. inside a car) for too long. It can also overheat if you have a faulty battery that needs to be replaced.
How do I check the status of my phone battery?
Go to Settings
Scroll down and select Battery
Select Battery Health & Charging
A display will appear of the health level of your battery.
If your maximum capacity is below 80%, Apple recommends looking into getting a new battery.
