Auto-Brightness Control in Control Center or Shortcuts?

Greetings All,


I often find that I am using my iPad or iPhone in an environment where the automatic adjustment of the screen brightness is troublesome and unwanted. Sometimes this has to do with how I am holding the device or the lighting in the space I am in. Navigating to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto-Brightness to change the setting is cumbersome and time consuming. There are circumstances when I would like to have an easy way to toggle this setting “on” or “off”. I would like to add the Auto-Brightness “on/off” control toggle to Control Center or create an easy to use Shortcut to be able to easily access it. I have searched around some, but have not been able to find a way to do this. I am not very familiar with using the Shortcuts app. Please let me know if you may have any information or advice about this issue to share.


Thank you for your time and assistance!


Best regards,

Create a shortcut and add the “Open URLs” action to it. Enter the url below. Running this won’t actually toggle the setting, but it will open the settings page that contains the toggle. Unfortunately that’s as good as it gets for now. Hope it helps!

Hello imorndew,


You may find all available options to add/remove items within the iOS Control Center within Settings > Control Center. While there may not be an option for adding an Auto-Brightness toggle to Control Center, you may always leave feedback for Apple regarding things you'd like to see added or improved.
