Does your iPhone screen always dim or turn off while reading content, viewing shopping lists, or playing games? Turning off the iPhone's automatic locking feature in Settings is very easy.

How to disable iPhone automatic lock

The reason your iPhone's screen continues to dim and turn off is due to a feature called "Auto Lock" that automatically puts the iPhone in sleep mode after a certain period of time. When the setting time has passed half, the screen brightness will be reduced by half. To resolve this issue, you need to turn off this feature.

First, open Settings on your iPhone. If the app is not found on your device, swipe down in the center of your iPhone's home screen to search using Apple's built-in Spotlight (by typing "Settings").

Click "Show and Brightness".

Scroll down and click "Auto Lock".

If you enable low battery mode, "Auto Lock" will be set to "30 seconds" and you will not be able to click on this option to change. To change this setting, first disable the low battery mode under Settings > Battery.

Under the "Auto Lock" setting, you will see a series of time options. These options determine how long your iPhone screen stays on until it is turned off and enters lock mode. Since we want to turn this setting off completely, select Never.

Now, whenever your iPhone is awakened, its screen will remain illuminated and the device will not be locked unless you indicate it to lock by pressing the side button.

If you still experience the problem of the screen getting dimmed after disabling the auto lock, it may be because the auto brightness is enabled. You can turn off the Automatic Brightness option under Settings & Accessibility & Display & Text Size on your iPhone by turning off Automatic Brightness at the bottom of the page.

Re-enable automatic locking later is usually the best choice

Although it is sometimes useful, disabling the automatic locking feature has some disadvantages. One obvious drawback is battery life. If you keep the screen on all the time, your iPhone's battery drains faster. This is because your iPhone screen is one of the most power-consuming components.

The second downside is security: if you keep your iPhone on and it won't lock automatically, then anyone can use it. Automatic locking is a good security measure so that when you drop your unlocked iPhone and walk away, it's very likely that it will automatically lock before someone gets it.

After completing the operation, be sure to re-enable "Auto Lock". To do this, repeat the steps above and select a time limit from the list instead of "Never".
