Control Active Brightness Level

Control screen brightness inside Kiosk Pro separately from the system brightness level.

Control Active Brightness Level

Supported in:

Kiosk Pro Basic, Plus and Enterprise

Toggles whether Kiosk Pro is able to set its own brightness levels or if it should use the system settings.

Default Value: Off

While turned off, Kiosk Pro will use the system brightness at all times, allowing you to control brightness through iOS/iPadOS’s Control Center or Settings. For devices located in areas where the brightness levels change through the day, this also allows the system Auto-Brightness feature to dim and brighten the screen automatically.

While turned on, Kiosk Pro will maintain its own screen brightness levels, which can be updated within the app settings using the Brightness Slider or remotely through a settings update. When the app is closed, Kiosk Pro will restore the previous system brightness level. Controlling the brightness within Kiosk Pro overrides all system brightness changes, including Auto-Brightness.

Note: This setting does not affect the Reduce Screen Brightness features.

Brightness Level

Supported in:

Kiosk Pro Basic, Plus and Enterprise

This setting allows you to set the screen brightness level used in Kiosk Pro if Control Active Brightness Level is enabled.

Default Value: 75%

Values for Remote Settings Control & Managed App Configuration

Key manualControlOfBrightness
Key Type real
Default Value 0.75
Possible Values
  • setting must be between 1 and 0.0 - for example:
    • 1 = maximum screen brightness
    • 0.5 = 50% screen brightness
    • 0.0 = minimum screen brightness

Notes: Real type values must include a leading 0 if less than 1 - for example, '0.2' is valid, '.2' would not be. If this key is included in a config, the value cannot be left blank; it must have an entry. If MDM does not support value type = real, use type = float.
