How to stop your iPhone screen from turning off automatically

Does your iPhone screen keep turning off while you’re reading something or while you’re showing a friend something on your phone and they keep asking you to unlock it? Luckily, there is an easy way to stop your iPhone screen from turning off automatically.

The reason your iPhone’s screen keeps dimming and turning off is because of a feature called “Auto-Lock,” which automatically locks your phone after a certain period of inactivity. Two-thirds of the way through the set time period, the display dims to half brightness. So, here’s how to stop your iPhone screen from turning off automatically in a few simple steps.

Launch Settings from your home screen.
Tap Display & Brightness.
Next, scroll down and tap Auto-Lock. Note: if you have Low Power mode enabled, Auto-Lock will be set to 30 seconds and you will not be able to tap on the option to change it unless you disable it.
In Auto-Lock, you will see a list of time options. Since we’re stopping your iPhone screen from turning off entirely, tap Never.

It is important to keep in mind that there are some cons to disabling Auto-Lock. First is battery life, your iPhone will run out of battery much faster if you forget to lock the screen. Additionally, you will have to be very cautious about security. If your iPhone does not lock automatically, anyone can get their hands on your data. So, it might be wise to turn Auto-Lock on when you are done with the task at hand.
