How to turn off auto brightness on iPhone

Auto-brightness is a feature designed to save battery life and make your iPhone’s screen easier to read. When you’re somewhere dark, like your bedroom at night, the screen will automatically dim.

Auto-brightness is generally pretty good at adapting to changing circumstances, and since the screen is one of the biggest battery drainers on your phone, we’d generally recommend leaving it on. However, if you’re someone who prefers to control it manually, or finds it consistently misses the mark when it comes to the brightness you’re looking for, here’s how to turn it off.

How to Add the Developer Tab to the Microsoft Office Ribbon

The Developer tab is not displayed on the Ribbon in Office apps by default, but it’s easy to add and gives you access to advanced features like macros, ActiveX controls, and form controls to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio. Here’s how to set it up.

When would you need the Developer tab? You can use the Developer tab to:

  • Write or run macros
  • Use XML commands
  • Use ActiveX controls
  • Create applications to use with Microsoft Office programs
  • Use form controls in Microsoft Excel
  • Work with the ShapeSheet in Microsoft Visio
  • Create new shapes and stencils in Microsoft Visio

Once you add the Developer tab to the Ribbon, it will remain visible unless you clear the check box or reinstall a Microsoft Office program.
