Samsung Galaxy: How to Reset Auto Brightness

Quick summary: If auto brightness on your Samsung Galaxy keeps making the screen too bright or too dark, reset it: turn it off, restart, wait, and turn it back on so it learns your preferences from scratch.

Step by step

1. Swipe down and tap the gear to open Settings.
2. Go to Display and turn off the Adaptive brightness (auto brightness) toggle.
3. Restart your phone: open the power menu (press and hold the side button, or use the power button in the quick panel) and tap Restart.
4. Wait about 5 minutes after it boots back up.
5. Go back to Settings > Display and turn Adaptive brightness back on.

That’s it. It should stop acting funky and start learning how bright you like your screen again.
