Enable or Disable Auto Brightness on Mac in macOS 13 Ventura or Later

While I appreciate the thought behind the ability to fine-tune the display brightness automatically, I prefer to keep this feature disabled. More often than not, it fails to read the ambient lighting conditions. As a result, the brightness is put either too high or too low. And when it happens, you can’t help feeling irritated. In terms of effectiveness, I would give the auto brightness of Mac not more than 50% accuracy. That’s the reason why I prefer to keep it turned off. Fortunately, it’s not a big deal to get the better of this feature.

  1. To get started, open the System Settings app on your Mac. Alternatively, click on the Apple menu that shows at the upper left corner of the screen and choose System Settings in the contextual menu.
  2. Now, scroll down and choose Displays.
  3. After that, turn off the toggle for the Automatically adjust brightness.  That’s it! Going forward, macOS will no longer automatically fine-tune the brightness of your Mac. Thus, you won’t have to deal with the unexpected brightness level of your macOS device.  Later, if you ever happen to change your mind and want this feature back, return to this very setting and then turn on the switch for the “automatically adjust brightness” option in the end.
