You have probably noticed that your MacBook’s screen automatically adjusted brightness and probably wondering why is this happening. By default Apple products like iPhones, iPads and MacBooks have this feature enabled.
It’s called True Tone. It makes your display automatically adjust to its surroundings. Your Mac will adjust the brightness of the screen based on ambient lighting. It will make your display slightly warmer or cooler depending on your surroundings.
How To Turn Off True Tone on MacBook
Apple Logo > Systems Preferences > Display > Ture Tone (On/Off)
True Tone has the potential to make your display warmer based on your surroundings and your time zone. Why is that relevant? Well, by making your screen brighter it reduces the blue light that might cause eye strain. Blue light is something you should restrict before bedtime. It decreases your sleep quality.
Knowing all this, the automatic screen adjustment seems pretty cool, eh?
If you don’t want your Mac to automatically adjust your brightness, un-check “Automatically adjust brightness” and “True Tone”.
