To keep your iPhone screen from turning off, you can adjust the Auto-Lock settings. This feature controls how long your device can remain idle before the screen automatically turns off. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adjust this setting:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. It’s represented by a gear icon and can usually be found on your home screen.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Display & Brightness”. This option is usually located in the second or third group of settings.
3. In the Display & Brightness menu, you’ll find the “Auto-Lock” option. Tap on it to proceed.
4. You’ll now see a list of time intervals ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, as well as the option to set the Auto-Lock to “Never”. Choose the desired time interval or select “Never” to prevent your screen from turning off automatically.
5. Once you’ve made your selection, exit the Settings app. Your changes will be saved automatically, and your iPhone screen will now stay on for the selected duration before automatically turning off.
Keep in mind that setting the Auto-Lock to “Never” can significantly impact your device’s battery life, as the screen will remain on until you manually turn it off. It’s generally recommended to choose a time interval that suits your needs while balancing battery usage.
Additionally, certain apps or activities may override the Auto-Lock settings temporarily. For example, media playback or navigation in certain apps may keep the screen on until the activity is complete.
