Update & Restart iPhone

Proceed to update iOS and restart your device to ensure that all changes take effect and that no other issue is changing the brightness on your device. In your General settings, tap on Software Update. Select to download and install the latest update in case one is available.

iPhone Settings > General > Software Update

You can then proceed to restart your iPhone. Restarting your device will restart all processes, which can in a lot of cases, fix these kinds of problems.

This could be due to the "Auto-Brightness" feature on your iPhone, which adjusts the brightness of your screen based on the ambient light.
You can also try turning off True Tone, which adjusts the color temperature of your screen based on the ambient light. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > True Tone and toggle it off.
If you're still experiencing issues, you can try deleting and reinstalling the Instagram app.
