Adjust brightness of TouchBar

Hi, I've noticed I'm unable to adjust the brightness of my TouchBar. It doesn't match the brightness of the screen, and a previous support reply suggested adjusting that.


When I got the M1 13" MacBookPro in 2021, it was too bright, and now I am finding it is too dim. Is there any software control over the brightness, or is this just the OLED dying out?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Touchbar back light is independent— no user control.


If you have an issue try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies.

Then reboot as normal and compare your results
