Screen brightness too bright at night before unlocking screen

[iygnos]

I'm using galaxy s22 and the screen gets too bright before unlocking the screen and it annoys me especially at night.

You have 'brighten screen' enabled for face recognition. Go to settings > biometrics and security > face recognition > tap brighten screen to disable it.

Thanks it worked

If you have face ID on that's probably the reason why it increases brightness on your lock screen, you can turn this off by going to Settings > Biometrics and security > Face recognition > then turn off Brighten screen. Hope this helps, also I suggest you to use Eye comfort shield and Extra dim modes for you to prevent hurting your eyes while using your phone at night.

Mine is too and it's not biometrics. I think the lock screen is just set on a higher brightness scale.
I use a darker wallpaper for my lockscreen or use it as a hallway light at night!
