Android 12 Tip: How to enable “Extra Dim” feature?

Since the release of the first developer preview of Android 12, we have seen many new features, including a dedicated trash bin and one-handed mode, and Google is currently developing these features.

Now, in the latest developer preview 3 of Android 12, a new “Extra Dim” feature has been discovered that allows users to dim the screen deeper than the minimum brightness setting on the device.

• Now, coming to the “Extra Dim” feature (available as “Reduce Brightness” for us), it resides as a toggle in the quick settings menu.
• So, you can use the toggle to quickly lower the brightness on your device.
• Apart from this, you can also go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Extra Dim to access a few additional settings for the feature.
• This includes an “Intensity” slider, a toggle for an “Extra Dim” shortcut, and a toggle for the feature to remain turned on after a device reboot.

Speaking of usability, the “Extra Dim” or “Reduce brightness” function is currently available in the DP3 version of Android 12. Android devices and other new features are expected to be released later this year. However, Google may abandon it in the stable version of Android 12.
