Video playback very bright on iPad

Hi, I viewed previous questions about this and I see this issue hasn’t been resolved. When I airdrop videos I record on my iPhone to my iPad, I’m noticing that they playback too overexposed on my iPad photos app, even though the video thumbnail in the gallery looks fine. Can anyone help with this please? I use an iPhone 12 Pro.

iPad, iPadOS 16

I just wanted to follow up to say that it might be some error in the file transfer process. I simply airdropped it again, ie sent a second copy over, and it played fine. Then I deleted the first copy. For anyone who might be experiencing this!

Feedback provided. Thanks for the link. (FYI - Here are a couple of screenshots showing before playing the video and while it's playing.)

Thank you for the screenshot.


What is the file type? See what happens when you play back MP4 files, vs AVI files. If it is a file type issue, then it is likely a bug in the iPadOS.

Troubleshooting iPad Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

Adjusting Screen Brightness:

It's probably a Setting in relevance to Accessibility.
