Brightness Control Missing in Control Center

I was clicking around and lost my brightness control in the control center of my iPad. I checked settings for the control center to see if I could add it again and there’s no brightness control. This question has been asked before but there was no resolution. Might as well ask again and hope for the best. No it is not a power issue since I’m on full battery. It’s a missing control.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

If basic controls appear to be missing from the Control Centre, perform a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
