Phones have a special sensor that can tell how bright or dark it is around them. When the room gets darker, like at night, the phone knows to make its screen brighter so you can see better. When it's light outside, the phone makes its screen dimmer so your eyes don’t get tired from too much brightness. It’s like having a tiny helper that adjusts your phone's brightness automatically.
Examples
- The brightness of your phone automatically decreases when you are outside on a sunny day.
- When you're watching videos at night, your phone makes its screen brighter so you can see better.
