Some iPhone users have noticed that display brightness increases automatically when watching Instagram videos or Instagram reels, stories, and some YouTube videos.
Automatically adjusting the display brightness while watching certain videos can be annoying for some users, and so perhaps you have already disabled auto-brightness in the settings on your iPhone to stop this from happening, and maybe you’ve tried turning off true-tone as well.
But, even with the system setting disabled, you find that watching an Instagram Reel, Instagram Video, and some YouTube videos, still causes the display brightness to change.
