Phones have a special sensor that can tell how bright the light around them is. When you go from a dark room to sunlight, your phone senses the change and makes the screen brighter so it’s easier to see. It's like having a tiny detective inside your phone that watches the light and tells the screen what to do.
Examples
- Your phone screen adjusts when you go from a dark room to a well-lit hallway.
- The light sensor in your phone helps you read messages more easily during the day.
