If you’re using an iPhone, it’s likely that you want to adjust the screen timeout time, which is the amount of time it takes before your phone goes to sleep or auto-locks. Luckily, changing it is an easy task that doesn’t require any technical know-how.

First, go to your iPhone’s settings, and then navigate to “Display and Brightness.” From there, select “Auto-Lock,” which is where you can adjust the screen timeout time. However, if the Auto-Lock option is grayed out, as it was for the person in the video, then you might have Low Power Mode enabled. To fix this, go to “Battery” in your iPhone’s settings and turn off Low Power Mode.

Once you’ve done this, go back to “Display and Brightness,” and you should now be able to adjust the Auto-Lock time to your liking, whether it’s 30 seconds or never. Most people prefer to set it to two minutes, which is enough time to read something or watch a short video without the phone going to sleep.

If you’re watching a video or actively using your phone, the Auto-Lock feature won’t be triggered, as there’s still activity on the phone. But if you want to lock your phone manually, you can press the power button or the sleep button, and it will be locked.

In conclusion, changing the screen timeout time on your iPhone is a simple and quick process that can be done by anyone, even if you’re not tech-savvy. By following the steps outlined above, you can adjust your phone’s settings to better suit your needs.
