Disable Attention-Aware Features
If you are experiencing your screen brightness dimming automatically and want to disable this feature, you may need to adjust your device’s settings. One common reason for this issue is the presence of Attention-Aware Features, which adjust screen brightness based on your gaze.

2. Locate the Accessibility settings. Look for the “Accessibility” option in the settings menu.
3. Find the Display & Text Size settings. Within the Accessibility settings, look for the Display & Text Size option.

By following these steps, you should be able to disable the automatic screen brightness adjustments caused by Attention-Aware Features on your device. If you continue to experience issues with your screen brightness dimming automatically, you may want to consider reaching out to the manufacturer or seeking assistance on forums like Reddit for further troubleshooting.
It’s important to note that the automatic dimming of screen brightness can also be influenced by other factors, such as ambient light sensors or power-saving settings. If disabling Attention-Aware Features does not resolve the issue, you may need to explore other settings on your device to identify the root cause of the problem.
