Auto-brightness is a feature on Android devices that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the ambient light around you. While this feature can be helpful in some situations, it can also be frustrating if you want full control over the brightness of your phone or tablet. If you’re looking to turn off auto-brightness on your Android device, read on for step-by-step instructions.

Method 1: Turn Off Auto-Brightness in Settings

The first and easiest way to turn off auto-brightness on your Android device is to do so through the Settings app.

1. Open the “Settings” app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Display.”
3. Toggle off the “Adaptive Brightness” option to turn off auto-brightness.

Method 2: Turn Off Auto-Brightness via Quick Settings

If you don’t want to navigate through the Settings app to turn off auto-brightness, there’s a quicker way to access this option.

1. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the Quick Settings panel.
2. Tap on the “Auto” icon to turn off auto-brightness.

Note that the location and appearance of the “Auto” icon may differ depending on your Android device and the version of Android you’re running.

Method 3: Turn Off Auto-Brightness with a Third-Party App

If the above methods don’t work for you, or if you’re looking for more advanced control over your screen brightness, you can try using a third-party app.

One popular app for adjusting screen brightness is Lux Auto Brightness. This app not only allows you to turn off auto-brightness but also gives you precise control over your screen brightness and color temperature. Lux works by using your device’s light sensors to measure the ambient light and adjusting the screen accordingly.

To use Lux Auto Brightness:

1. Download and install the Lux Auto Brightness app from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app and go through the setup process.
3. Tap on the “Auto Brightness” option to turn off auto-brightness.

You can then adjust the brightness and color temperature to your liking using the app’s settings.
