   You will have two options here;

    

   1. You can enable the "Automatic Brightness". The phone will automatically adjust its screen for you.
   2. You can adjust it manually. You'll see a meter that you can drag to the left or right. Once you are done changing it, tap on OK then and it will automatically be applied.
