I was taking photos of my son's AYSO soccer game in bright Sun light. In the area where team parents were sitting, it was difficult to take good photos. Here is the first photo I took in Auto mode on my cell phone. As expected the players and refs were too dark.
The phone camera doesn't have a brain. It tried to capture the quantity of light it thought would make a nice photo. However in really, that was not working.
So once I knew the issue, I opened up settings and selected Exposure Compensation. It move it to +2. Another way to tell camera to take more lights is to touch or press on the darker object in the scene. Of select the object you want Camera to expose better. In our case, it wa the ref's shorts.
On many phone cameras, I think in new iPhones for sure, you can touch the subject and the Exposure Compensation bar comes up. You can scroll it up to tell camera to take in more light.
Here is the next photo I took. It came out well. Actually, it looks awesome IMO as the Sun creates nice rim light.

As I keep saying, it is not a rocket science to be able to take good photos there days. Take one photo, find a problem with it and then try to fix the problem!
Enjoy photography!
