This isn’t entirely reliable though. I’ve had many instances where enabling/disabling screen curtain and going back later for whatever reason only to find that my brightness is set at 50 or 60 or 70%.
Not always, but enough to where it’s not just some every blue moon outlier type of deal. In short, it’s not something I’d depend upon for it to consistently work.

Then when you turn off the screen curtain, the brightness will increase, so a sighted person can see the screen. Then when you turn on the screen curtain again, it should set it back to zero. The only time this may change, is if you are someone who turns off their phone over night. Then you may need to check your brightness, after turning your phone back on. Dave.

I'd think the screen curtain has nothing to do with the brightness itself. I'd be wrong of course :) Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Follow or add me on Facebook <https://facebook.com/firirinfonfon> Em 12/03/2019 12:29, Dave escreveu: But if you have auto brightness turned on, and your screen curtain on, it should turn down the brightness to zero.

The quickest, simplest way to change brightneess is, indeed, with SIRI. You may also want to know that setting brightness to zero saves battery power, while having brightness raised to 50% or 75% and turning on your screen curtain does not save battery. The screen curtain is a voice over feature whose purpose, I think, is to provide privacy for the VO user who will not know if someone is looking over her shoulder when using her phone in a public place.

On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I don’t look at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes would like to use my phone, to take a picture or some such. Of course my screen brightness setting makes her nuts. I have gone into Settings and changed the brightness to 70 or 80%, but the next time she looks at the phone, she says “the screen’s not working.” What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but sometimes we need to share the phone with one. LOL Susie -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
