There\u2019s an easy way to turn off auto-lock on an iPhone in Settings. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p>The reason your iPhone\u2019s screen keeps dimming and turning off is because of a feature called \u201cAuto-Lock,\u201d which automatically puts the iPhone into a sleep\/lock mode after a certain period of time. Two-thirds of the way through the set period, the screen dims to half brightness. To fix it, we need to turn \u201cAuto-Lock\u201d off.<\/p>\n<p>First, open the \u201cSettings\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> by tapping the \u201cgear\u201d icon. Swipe down in the middle of your iPhone\u2019s home screen to use Apple\u2019s built-in Spotlight search if you can\u2019t find the app on your device.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-662877 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/launch_settings_iphone-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Open Settings on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"363\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In \u201cSettings,\u201d tap \u201cDisplay &amp; Brightness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-685073\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tap_display_brightness.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap &quot;Display &amp; Brightness&quot; in iPhone Settings.\" width=\"650\" height=\"385\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cDisplay &amp; Brightness\u201d settings, scroll down and tap \u201cAuto-Lock.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you have Low Power mode enabled, Auto-Lock will be set to \u201c30 Seconds,\u201d and you won\u2019t be able to tap on the option to change it.
