They don’t. Hopefully they’ll fix this later.

Dim Screenshots don’t look good

It’s a downside of the freature, the same as with Reading mode wich adds a yellow tint to the screenshots.

To be honest it’s a minor annoyance given the benefit of being able to read my phone in the dark or just after waking up without going blind a few seconds. I can live with it.

***It’s not a bug, it’s a feature ™***

Great! Now I know how to fix 2 bugs!
The stupid darkened screenshots and the work-backwards auto contrast!
I mean: it turns black backgrounds grayer when you are in sunlight!!! I need darker backgrounds with lighter text, not the exact opposite!
Smart phones are getting dumber by the minute!

Ps: every Google/vanillaAndroid app has gotten more useless lately at a pace that is unbelievable!

Finally i fixed it.
Just go to Display settings and more dark mode options(if you are on dark mode)
Then turn off “Adjust text and background automatically”.
It worked for me and i know it works for you too.

So is there a temporary solution??

Thanks mate

Go to the dark mode menu, you can access it by long clicking it on the upper menu, on the bottom of that menu is the option to disable it

Can anyone tell me what exactly this “Adjust Contrast Automatically” in “Dark mode” settings does?

Thanks for this! I get the uneasy feeling my ss being darkened

Thank you for this! Was the automatic contrast adjustment also responsible for giving the screen a yellow hue in the browser? (or any pages with black text on white background)

I noticed it happens with reading mode off, and wasn’t consistent to a whole page. It would sort of dim and brighten while scrolling through.

I have it turned on without any problems (xiaomi.eu stable 12.0.4)

Thanks a lot for this!

Thanks!

I left it off most of the time anyway.

thank you so much man you saved me

I just recently upgraded my phone to MiUI 12 so I just had this problem recently. But apparenty, it has been months. I hope they’ll fix it soon because it is such a nuisance to turn off darkmode just to take a clearer screenshot.

Thanks a ton!

First day of using Miui12 and just noticed this.

Thanks for the makeshift solution. Hope Xiaomi will fix this soon.
