You’ve probably noticed that your iPad’s screen is automatically dimming down without any reason. Let me show you how to stop iPad from dimming.
The screen on an iPad may dim for various reasons. One possible cause is the “Auto-Brightness” feature, which adjusts the screen brightness based on surrounding light conditions. Additionally, when the battery level is low, the iPad may enable a battery-saving mode that dims the screen to conserve power. It’s also worth checking the display and brightness settings, as they might be configured to automatically adjust brightness or set it at a lower level.
This is designed to increase the longevity of your iPad. Let’s go deeper and learn how to turn the dimming off or turn it back on again.
Here’s a YouTube short in case you prefer video content:
