The iPhone’s auto-locking display is great for ensuring your phone is password-protected when you forget to lock it manually. It’s also ideal for preserving the device’s battery life. The feature works by detecting when your eyes are on the screen and locking the display after a set amount of time when your attention remains diverted. However, there are times when you might want the display to stay on for longer.
