How to adjust your brightness settings in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18

It’s easy to adjust display the brightness and color temperature on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Here’s how in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18:

  • Open Control Center, then drag the brightness icon (looks kinda like the sun)
  • Go to Settings  > Display & Brightness, then drag the slider.

Or to settle brightness automatically:

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility.
  2. Tap Display & Text Size, then turn on Auto-Brightness.

(This how-to is based on my experiences and info on Apple’s support pages — where the images sometimes come from.)
