Even though I am running 12.0.1, maybe my old iPhone 6 is too old to take advantage of this feature. I have tried increasing screen value both from within the control pannel and settings, both with screen curtain on and off when I change the value, and it never says the value returns to zero when I turn screen curtain on. Restarting did not help. I may experiment to see if my battery drain is worse with the value set higher and turning on the screen curtain to see if it really is lowering the value to zero and simply not changing what VoiceOver reads. In the meantime, it isn't all that hard to change it in control pannel when needed. I am glad this feature works for some of you.

You learn something new every day I guess. Nifty feature I wasn't aware of. One thing though, I’m noticing that with auto brightness turned on and after I turn the screen curtain off, brightness will go up to whatever percentage depending on ambient brightness, but when I enable the screen curtain, the brightness doesn't go back to zero. Can anyone else confirm this? This would be my concern with the battery draining if I were to use this feature since it's so easy to turn screen curtain back on and not bother about checking brightness Cristóbal -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2018 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself I believe the feature where screen brightness was set to 0% automatically when screen curtain is on was introduced in iOS 11 at some point. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Julian Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2018 11:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen curtain are on it should read 0%.
