Adaptive brightness is supposed to make life easier by automatically adjusting your screen’s brightness based on your surroundings. Increase brightness if you're in a lit room and reduce it when you're in a dark environment. But sometimes it gets a little too helpful. Like when you're trying to conserve battery, only for your screen to suddenly blast at full brightness because it detected a tiny light.

If you’d rather take control of your phone's brightness, whether to save battery, avoid awkward screen flashes in public, or just because you prefer manual adjustments, disabling adaptive brightness is the way to go.

In this guide, learn how to disable adaptive brightness on your Samsung Galaxy Phone.

Of course, adaptive brightness can be handy, but sometimes manual control just works better, especially when your phone’s guesses don’t match your needs.
