iPhone automatically increasing brightness of screenshots of videos.

I’ve noticed for the past few months that whenever I record a video on my iPhone and then go back to get a screenshot of a moment in that video, the end result is a super brightened version of the original from the video. Any ideas as to what may cause this/ how to turn it off? Thanks!

Videos are dark after updating my iPhone to iOS 18.1.1 I recently updated to ios 18.1.1. Unfortunately some of my videos in my camera roll (the ones I made with my phone) went dark. Neither turning autobrightness down nor turning auto HDR off helped (as I was looking for solutions, these are the best I could find). How can I solve the issue without reset every one of these videos? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 15 Pro Live Photo selection changes brightness After taking several outdoor Live photos of people with my new phone (15 Pro), the still image automatically selected is bright and beautiful. However, if I choose to edit the photo and select any other frame in the Live Photo, the brightness of the photo dims substantially. Even using the auto enhance option does not brighten the newly selected image like the original. It’s never done that with earlier phones. Can’t figure out what’s different or what setting I have that I’m not aware of.

Screenshots on iPhone and iPad get darker than the original image. When taking a screenshot on iPhone or iPad the colors shift to be slightly darker. It appears that this started since IOS and iPadOs 18. Some colors seem to be affected more than others (I find that they tend to be pastels). Some colors don't seem to be affected but, it's still a major issue, especially for people that do anything with photos (which is basically everyone). (The first photo is the original. Each subsequent photo is a screenshot of the previous one. If for some reason these get posted out of order, the order of the screenshot is from lighter to darker. Here you can see the color shift):

Hi jackaustin25,

Thanks for posting in Apple Communities.

The screenshot should show as it appears onscreen. If you haven't already, restart your iPhone and make sure that it has been updated to the latest software version in Settings > General > Software Update.

Try taking a screenshot of a still to see if the same behavior continues. If it does or this continues after updating, contact Apple Support.

Regards.
