This How.com.vn teaches you how to disable the feature that automatically turns off your iPhone's screen after a certain period of time. This is useful when you're watching a movie or doing a long video conference call and don't want the screen to go black.
Steps
Open your iPhone's Settings. You'll usually find this app on the home screen.
- Use this method to disable the feature that automatically locks your iPhone after being idle for a certain amount of time.
Scroll down and tap Display & Brightness. It's in the third group of settings.
Tap Auto-Lock. It's near the second of the screen. A list of time options will appear.
Tap Never. It's at the bottom of the screen. Now that you've selected this option, your iPhone's screen will remain on indefinitely.
Re-enable Auto-Lock when you're finished with your activity. If your device remains unlocked with the screen illuminated for too long, it will run out of charge. Change your Auto-Lock settings back to your preferred time interval, if you don't need to keep it on the "Never" setting.Advertisement
