iOS 8 has packed in plenty of highly appreciable tricks. Although most of them have been found out, there are still some hidden tricks which are yet to be noticed by a few iPhone and iPad users. Among the many tweaks that iOS 8 has got with it, the ability to dim the screen much lower than what Control Center allows is the one which hasn’t yet been known by many.

Most iPhone users lower the Auto-Brightness at nights so that others around them may not be disturbed while they are engrossed in using their device.

Here is how you can enable this trick on your iPhone. Let’s have a glance!
